Surrey Sculpture Society Exhibition

A sculpture of a person diving into a body of water positioned on the edge of the lake, with the figure in mid-dive, arms extended forward and legs together. The background includes lush greenery and trees, with their reflections visible on the calm surface of the water. The sculpture is made of metal and is mounted on a curved pedestal that supports it in its diving pose.

This event has now ended and will return in 2026.

Claremont Landscape Garden is once again hosting the Surrey Sculpture Society for a spectacular summer walking trail with 75  unique artworks created by the society’s talented members.  

Established for over 30 years, the society boasts a membership of over 250 emerging and well-known artists and brings a diverse mix of traditional, contemporary, and innovative sculptures to this historic landscape.

All artworks on display will be available for purchase, offering visitors a chance to enjoy art in their own gardens.

This year visitors will also be able to join in with guided tours of the artwork, a family trail and a weekend clay workshops.

Surrey Sculpture Society Guided Walk - Saturday 28 June

Join artist and sculptor Michael Joseph, for a guided walk around the Surrey Sculpture Exhibition. He'll share insights into inspiration, artistic interpretation, diversity of materials and subjects, how they are made and their place in the garden landscape. 

Free activity. Join the tour at 11am or at 1.30pm. Meet at the Surrey Sculpture Society  gazebo behind the kiosk. 

Explore art with the family

This year we have a trail for little sculptors encouraging children to look at the artworks and get talking about art. It’s self-led, with boards around the trail route. Each board has a fun puzzle to work out the sculpture, a clue and a fun challenge.
