What's going on throughout this year?
This year is about embracing art, playing with new views and encouraging creativity. Not only will there be two full-time artworks and one pop-up surprise in the water garden but lots of opportunity to take inspiration from These Passing Things yourself. You'll be able to see the artworks from 10 July - autumn 2021.
Pick up trail maps (there's one for kids and one for grown-ups too!) from admissions and take inspiration from the artworks and the way nature has sculpted the design of the garden. See how different colours interact with fabrics by watching natural dye demonstrations at Swanley Grange on selected weekends.
You can also join a 'walk and talk' with the artist Steve Messam on the following dates. The talks are free but normal admission applies.
Cancelled - Wednesday 25 August
Tuesday 14 September - 11:30am and 2:30pm
Saturday 9 October - 11:30am and 2:30pm
Did you know?...
When the first follies and sculptures that we’re used to now were built at Studley lots of visitors didn’t like them at all. With contemporary art well rooted in the history of this World Heritage Site, it's a debate that's still running centuries later.
