Sculpture at Falconhurst
The Falconhurst Estate will host a debut sculpture exhibition celebrating the medium of stone. The exhibition will run from Sunday, 30th June 2024 to Saturday, 27th July 2024. Opening hours are 10am to 4pm from Monday to Friday, and 11am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Please note that the exhibition will be closed on 6th July and 13th July for private events.
The exhibition will feature works by renowned sculptors such as Régis Chaperon, Luke Dickinson, Jason Mulligan, Ana Ruiz Agüí, Guy Stevens, Mark Stonestreet, Anthony Turner, and Dominic Welch. The sculptures will be displayed in the gardens of Falconhurst, which have been carefully maintained by the Talbot family since 1850.
Tickets can be purchased online. Parking is available in The Paddock car park, located past the Farm Shop. Additional tickets and catalogues are available for purchase at the garden entrance or in the Farm Shop. Please note that dogs are not permitted in the gardens during the exhibition.
Visitors are advised to supervise young children as the sculptures are large and made of stone, presenting potential risks.

We just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for hosting our wedding last weekend. Falconhurst looked absolutely stunning and the gardens are just beautiful - our photographer kept finding gorgeous corners to take pictures. Thank you for all your support in the years preceeding and for being so flexible when we rescheduled. We were so glad we picked Falconhurst all those years ago!
