Sculpture
at Doddington
Every summer, the gardens at Doddington Hall are transformed into a beautiful backdrop for our annual sculpture exhibition.
From July to September, our walled gardens and romantic wild garden are filled with incredible works of art. Created by artists from across the UK and beyond, these striking sculptures encourage you to explore the gardens in a new and intriguing way.
Curators David Waghorne and Kate McGovern carefully select national and international sculptors to complement each area of the garden, creating an eclectic exhibition to suit a wide range of tastes, styles and budgets.
There are hundreds of sculptures on display, with surprises at every turn. Larger pieces are placed throughout the gardens, while the Stable Yard Gallery showcases a captivating selection of smaller-scale works.
Almost every piece in the exhibition is for sale - an investment that will bring enjoyment to your home or garden, while also supporting the career of the sculptor.
