There's more to Croome than meets the eye. It's an unusual National Trust property, both for the quality of its designers, its story and its contemporary approach to having creative conversations with our audiences. Read on to find out how to get involved in creative opportunities at Croome.

Four Seasons Artist Commission

Following an open call earlier this year, we have commissioned Faye Claridge to produce four new sculptures inspired by the original Four Seasons statues that were once sited in our Evergreen Shrubbery.

The new sculptures will be co-produced with four community groups and will respond to Croome's unique landscape and history.

Faye creates contemporary artworks linking heritage, prisons, collections, ecology and more.

We will share more of this project as it develops.

Seven Birds of Croome

We're pleased to announce that after an artist open call, we've appointed the very talented MrASingh to work with us, and seven local community groups to decorate large bird sculptures for our Seven Birds of Croome parkland installation and Christmas family trail. If you've seen brightly coloured sculptures dotted around cities (Elephants in Worcester, Bears in Birmingham), it's extremely likely you've seen MrASingh's work.

The project responds to our Looking Closely theme and the Thomas Bewick and Marcus Coates exhibitions in the House in vibrant and colourful interpretations of Croome dotted throughout the parkland and bringing plenty of Christmas cheer along the way.

Seven Birds of Croome sculptures can be seen at Croome from 25 November.
