ADMIRE art among the flowers at RHS Hyde Hall gardens this summer as a sculpture trail returns.

The trail will feature work by the Surrey Sculpture Society (SSS), which has been invited back for the second time to the gardens, in Creephedge Lane, Rettendon, from Saturday, June 24 until Sunday, July 30.

Hyde Hall’s head of site, Ian Le Gros, said: “The sculpture exhibition was a very welcome addition to our summer schedule last year and feedback from visitors was exceptional. The garden provides the perfect backdrop for sculptures, with some pieces acting as focal points and others nestled amongst trees and flowers awaiting discovery.

“Needless to say, I’m thrilled to welcome them back this year.”

SSS exhibition manager, Angie Doy, added: “Hyde Hall gardens are enormous and beautiful with stunning views. Our sculptors loved the new venue and we are all looking forward to returning this summer.”

The sculptures will be placed throughout the 360 acre gardens and there will be an indoor exhibition for smaller sculptures.

A trail guide will be given to visitors to lead them through each area of the gardens, where they will discover sculptures made in a diverse range of materials including bronze, resin, glass, metal, wood, stone, ceramic and found objects, with all sculptures for sale during the event.
