RHS Rosemoor set to host its winter sculpture exhibition

More than 100 sculptures will be placed in prime positions, ready for the start of the Winter Sculpture Exhibition.

The artworks, made from various materials including ceramics, stone, steel and recycled tools, are crafted by artists from across the country.

The exhibition will be open from Saturday, November 15 to January 31, with the sculptures positioned against winter backdrops or indoors.

To mark the residency’s start, a special opening weekend is planned for November 15 and 16.

Visitors can meet some of the artists in the Garden Room, view their work, and learn about their inspiration and processes.

Art lovers can purchase pieces directly from the artists.

Some of the participating artists include Lucy d’ Auvergne, Candice Bees, Oliver Bramstone and Luke Edgar.
