Sculpture in the Garden at Upton House: 4 to 19 October

The Oxford Sculpture Group are exhibiting for the first time in the gardens and the Squash Court Gallery at Upton House.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Lord Bearsted was a great patron of the arts. He transformed Upton in the 1930s to house his world class art collection. It is in this spirit we celebrate contemporary artists work. From 4 to 19 October there will be sculpture on display throughout the gardens and a range of indoor sculptures on display in the Squash Court Gallery, where you can also find our sales desk manned by one of the sculptors who are always happy to talk about the work on display.
