A British Summer

“A British Summer” celebrates our favourite time of year and conjures up images of everything from Henley and Wimbledon to seaside holidays, Punch and Judy and, dare we say, rain!

The Gallery is delighted to again be part of Borde Hill Garden’s Annual Sculpture Exhibition. We will be exhibiting the work of over a dozen artists, including four of the main Garden exhibitors, and are part of the Garden’s Sculpture Trail which winds its way around the historic site and is a popular activity for both adults and children. The sculptures on display at the Gallery are on a smaller scale and suitable for a domestic setting, and are in a broad range of materials from iron, stone and wood to ceramic, resin, wire and glass.
To Linger in a Garden Fair
25 March 2017 – 06 May 2017
“To Linger in a Garden Fair” may have been penned by the 14th century Persian poet Hafiz, but to us it perfectly describes the delicious anticipation of enjoying the garden after a long winter. This is an exhibition devoted to one of Britain’s most popular pastimes, featuring work in a variety of media.
