Surrey Sculpture Society & Riverhill Himalayan Gardens unveil return of sculpture trail for 2026

Following a successful debut last summer, Riverhill Himalayan Gardens and Surrey Sculpture Society are pleased to announce the return of their collaborative sculpture exhibition from 13th May to 27th September 2026.

The gardens welcome visitors from 10am – 5pm, Wednesday through Sunday, as well as on Bank Holidays. Advance booking is not necessary.

This year’s trail has been thoughtfully reimagined, offering a fresh, site-responsive selection of works set within the twelve acres of breathtaking landscape that look out across the Weald of Kent.

Riverhill’s distinctive setting features a variety of captivating spaces, including its magical rock garden, elegant rose walk, impressive walled garden, and the much-loved viewpoint and maze. With dedicated areas for children to explore, the gardens continue to appeal to both plant enthusiasts and families seeking an enjoyable day out.

Guests can enjoy a diverse showcase of sculpture – all of which are available to purchase – spanning a wide spectrum of styles, scale, and price points. The exhibition brings together both established names and rising talent, with artworks crafted from materials such as bronze, resin, wood, stone, ceramic, metal, and repurposed elements.

Caroline Wheaton, Exhibition Manager for Surrey Sculpture Society, said: “The Society is thrilled to return to Riverhill following such a positive response to our first collaboration. Showcasing sculpture in harmony with nature remains at the heart of what we do, and this second year gives us the opportunity to build on that vision. We look forward to presenting an inspiring collection that enhances the beauty and character of these remarkable gardens.”

Kate Westbrook of Riverhill Himalayan Gardens added: “Our visitors really enjoyed having the work here last year and it complemented the natural beauty of the gardens so well. We are all excited to see what they are bringing to us for 2026!”

Riverhill Himalayan Gardens is located on Riverhill in Sevenoaks, TN15 ORR. For further information visit: https://www.riverhillgardens.co.uk/
