We have an exclusive visit to this sculpture garden days before it closes for the season, beginning with a talk by one of the curators over coffee and biscuits and then we are free to view all the sculptures at our own pace.

This fascinating Sculpture Garden, or open air art gallery, was the brainchild of the current owner Hannah Peschar 36 years ago. The Garden was part of a large estate which was sold leaving the 15th Century grade 2 listed black and white cottage in ten acres of land which houses all the sculptures.

It now hosts an exhibition of over 200 pieces from top artists across Europe. Over the past 40 years the garden has been redesigned by Anthony Paul who is an award-winning landscape designer and Hannah Peschar’s husband. The Sculptures in the garden have been carefully chosen by Anthony and his fellow curator Vikki Leedham and placed them throughout the garden so that they sit in harmony with their surroundings for people to wander around and enjoy at their leisure. After our visit The Scarlett Arms is a stone’s throw away if you would like lunch after our visit.

Any essential items to bring: comfortable footwear suitable for a variety of terrains and clothing appropriate for the weather.

The garden is only partially accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs as there are steps and tricky pathways throughout.  The on-site toilets are open.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

During the talk we will have tea and biscuits. When booking please let us know in the comments box of any dietary requirements.

The cost to Members is £16.00 and Non-members £18.00.
