CREATING SPACES 2025 SCULPTURE EXHIBITION

THE COTSWOLD SCULPTORS RETURN TO THE GARDEN AT MISERDEN FOR THIS YEAR’S “CREATING SPACES” EXHIBITION

Discover a new exhibition of over 120 sculptures, carefully placed throughout the wonderful Garden at the Miserden estate (Stroud/Cirencester).

EXHIBITION DETAILS: Every Wed to Sun 10-5, including bank holidays; from 4th June until 3rd August 2025.
Entry to exhibition included in garden admission charge (£12 standard entry (yearly options are available), kids enter for free).

Accessibility note: assistance dogs (only) are welcome. Most of the paths are gravel or grass and there are some steps, but these are mostly avoidable for those with limited mobility.

EVERY PIECE A DELIGHT

Local collective the ‘Cotswold Sculptors’ present a variety of work, both abstract and figurative; in mediums traditional and modern. In the exhibition, you’ll find beautifully textured surfaces, pieces that capture humanity and emotion; vibrant colours, nature in all its forms and also, abstract pieces; both monumental and more reflective.

Different pieces will speak to different people – if you find yours, most works are available for purchase.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS

A visit to Miserden is always a treat. The timeless walled gardens expertly planted with roses, clematis and herbaceous plants overlook a deer park and the rolling Cotswold hills of the Golden Valley beyond. Don’t miss unique features such 17th-C Lutyen yew walk and quaint grass steps; or the ‘secret’ walled garden; a lovely quiet space in which to sit and reflect.

Enjoy coffee and cake from the “Little Ginger” coffee stand, whilst strolling within the magnificent colours of the mixed borders.

NEW FOR 2025: FEATURING GUEST SCULPTOR - IAN GILL

New this year – the Cotswold Sculptors are delighted to welcome special guest sculptor, Ian Gill, to exhibit alongside members. Several pieces will be shown, including ‘Helix’, a more abstract piece which brings to mind seedlike structures and the movement of the summer breeze.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK: SHARING A PASSION FOR SCULPTURE

Cotswold Sculptors Association is an inclusive, non-profit organisation run by its artist-members to promote the making and appreciation of sculpture in its many forms. We support each other in our artistic practice, by creating connections, sharing inspiration and opportunities to show our work with the world.

Most days, you’ll find at least one of the artists from the Cotswold Sculptors on hand in the garden, to answer your questions about the exhibition generally but also, to chat about their own work, if you’d like to.

DEMONSTRATIONS AT MISERDEN

On the 14th June, visitors can chat with a number of sculptors as they demonstrate their materials and how they bring to life the ideas behind their work. No additional charge.
