Wye Valley Sculpture Garden

The Wye Valley Sculpture Garden hosts one of Wales’ largest outdoor summer sculpture exhibitions and is a leading cultural destination in the area.

Founded by artist Gemma Kate Wood, the garden has evolved over the past 20 years into a living landscape where contemporary art, nature, and wellbeing meet.

Set within three acres of formal lawns, herbaceous borders, orchard, and a pond, the garden provides a carefully designed setting for large-scale and site-responsive sculpture.

Each summer, the exhibition presents a changing collection of contemporary work in glass, stone, metal, bronze, ceramic, and wood, bringing together established and emerging artists in a unique outdoor environment.

Most works are for sale and Gemma or one of her team will always be available to talk to you about the art works.

Our guiding ethos balances art, plants, wildlife, and wellbeing, creating a space that supports both artistic practice and personal reflection.
