The Sculpture Exhibition at Doddington Hall 2025 runs from 26 July to 7 September, open daily from 10 am to 4 pm with last entry at 3 pm. This year’s showcase features more than 300 sculptures by 58 national and international artists, displayed throughout Doddington’s walled gardens, wild spaces and the indoor Stable Yard gallery. Curated by David Waghorne and Kate McGovern, the exhibition showcases a diverse range of styles, from bold contemporary designs to traditional figurative pieces, making it accessible to all tastes.

Almost every sculpture is available for purchase, giving visitors the opportunity to support artists and take home something truly unique. The event also features the Young Sculptor Award in the Kitchen Garden, spotlighting emerging talent handpicked by Angus Forbes. Entry includes full access to the gardens and gallery, with tickets priced at £9.50 for adults, £4.50 for children and £22 for families. Season ticket holders get in free, and members of Historic Houses, RHS, CPRE and the Art Fund receive a 20% discount.

Visitors can follow numbered trails through the gardens to ensure they see the highlights before heading indoors to explore the more minor works in the Stable Yard gallery. Most of the exhibition is held outdoors and proceeds in all weather, so suitable footwear is recommended. The majority of paths are wheelchair-friendly, although some areas may have uneven surfaces. Dogs aren’t allowed, except for assistance dogs. Photography is welcome for personal use.

Set against the backdrop of Doddington Hall’s historic architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens, this exhibition combines art, nature and heritage in a way that offers something for everyone, whether you’re an art enthusiast, a garden lover, or just looking for an inspiring summer day out.
