Sculptures at Doddington Hall.
In 2012 Doddington Hall held a scuplture exhibition within the grounds of the Hall. It was such a success they repeated it and held a 2nd Sculpture Exhibition in 2014.
The 2014 exhibition had over 400 exhibits and, although I took a lot of photographs, I'm not showing them all here in this blog. However, I wanted to show as many as possible so, to avoid flooding the blog with these pictures, I intend to post a couple of sets every now & then between other blog posts. I hope you enjoy the photographs, I certainly enjoyed the exhibition.

The event was very popular as can be seen from the number of cars in the car park. |

Outside the entrance to the hall were the first sculptures. |

These were very skillfully made from riveted metal sections. |

Inside the Gardens the exhibits were presented in various settings over a wide area of the gardens at Doddington Hall. Normally very pleasant to walk around anyway but with the added attraction of the exhibits. |

This was a more modern piece. |

Where the Hall provided a backdrop to an exhibit it added to the overall setting and enjoyment. |

The gardeners at the Hall entered into the spirit of the occasion with these grand topiary characters! |

I found this piece very pleasing and relaxing to view.
The next part will follow soon. |
