What a super place to visit. Nearly 200 set amongst woodland and paths and a huge pond. A wonderful variety of of all sizes from people to animals in bronze wood and recycled things. A lovely little us at the entrance and we loved our We went to the Light Up event last night and it was absolutely magical. The best light trail we've seen (including Blenheim, which is slick and flashy but extremely expensive). It's what you get when artists do it - not just showing off, but with thought and care and designed to make you feel something. Absolutely wonderful - if you're seeing this before it ends, go! And otherwise I hope it comes back next year. Delightful day out amongst natural and sculpted wonders. Must see if you can. Good for families too Well a visit. Free parking in a gravel surfaced car park with a short to the entrance and (which you can without paying). The is a good place to start. Great cakes & vegetarian savoury lunch options at around £10. Under cover outside seating is available. We spent 2hrs looking around. Certainly visiting when there is some sunshine as it does add to the ambiance and the lighting on the sculptures. There are no steps and the paths are suitable for wheelchairs and buggies etc. If you happen to have membership to Westonbirt Arboretum, you can get 2 for 1 adult tickets, so £5 each 👍☺️. Great place. 200 sculptures, some unsuitable for young kids, with the opportunity to vote for your favourite. Good café. Fabulous place to wander and admire some fantastic sculptures, most for sale... at a price! Although I found the most interesting those that weren't for sale. A bit expensive to get in but a lovely 2 to 3 hours or longer if you dawdle over the sculptures, which I advise you do! A spontaneous trip to the Cotswold Sculpture Park using my Gardeners World 2for1 voucher. Thoroughly enjoyed wandering around, through the woodland looking at all the sculptures. We did not stop for refreshments at the cafe, but it all looked very nice. A flat gravel path takes you around the site. Some sculptures. We visited on a really hot day, arrival by car to what felt very South of France vibe. Shaded outside cafe, much appreciated at the end of our walk. We then started walking through both sunny and shaded woodland. A very eclectic selection of sculpture from small to a huge white polar bear. Thoroughly enjoyed our morning and would definitely recommend a to others. Light show 2025. Absolutely brilliant. Such ephemeral feelings as we walked round. Toasting marshmallows half way round took me right back to my childhood. A do not miss event Thoroughly enjoyed my visit, walking around admiring all the in natural surroundings. Well the even though it was a very windy day with showers. There is even a small with undercover outdoor seating. Will definitely again one day. This was a truly great experience. I liked most of the almost 200 sculptures. Also, the food, coffe and staff were really nice. Great selection of sculpture, great too! What an amazing space. Not only are you treated to just over 200 fantastic of all styles from people to nature to abstract, but you are also in the most locations, surrounded by nature with mature trees, a pond and 360° bird song. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, it was amazing! Such a lot of interesting and surprising things to see. I spent 2 hrs here, and enjoyed a delicious lunch from their pop up cafe. I would recommend it 👌 Absolutely magical place! The park is and very tranquil with lots of trees, plants and flowers, the are fantastic lots of different styles, materials and artists which are changed out often so you can go multiple times and always have a different experience! The paths are level and it's easily accessible, a great day out for all of the family young and old, the owners are wonderful and welcoming people, we can't wait to go back again! Light Up Your Winter Evening Went to the Lights Up experience last night. What a fabulous job the owners have done of illuminating both the 30+ and the woodland in which they are displayed. The most stunning feature is a constantly moving 'blanket' of laser light that's like a giant 3D kaleidoscope through the treetops. Don't miss sculpture number 30 - a owl that's lurking on a post along the path but when you shine your torch on it (a must to take one with you) it looks bejewelled from top to tail. Great freshly cooked pizza with a wonderful base and a delicious bean chilli with a fresh onion/tomato/cucumber salsa are the excellent food offerings and cheaper-than-the--pub very nice wines rounded off a great way to spend a winter evening. An interesting display of ranging in value from a few hundred GBP to £250k for the polar bear. Wonderful details in the bronze and also the textures in the resin animals. Quiet retreat to meander around to enjoy the art and nature. I was very pleasantly surprised with how good this.place really was! I've lived in the area for a few years and always wanted to check it out. Me and the missus finally went today and as soon as we got into the car park it was very picturesque. Went to get tickets and it was £20 quid for the 2 of us (totally it btw). The place is like the tardis! At the entrance it seems quite small but once you start walking it just keeps going. There are some really impressive and we had loads of fun copying the sculpture positions 🤣 It took just over an hour to the whole thing but would of taken longer if we took the time to read the info about each sculpture but we were on a tight schedule. We will most definitely be returning and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who is in the area and looking for something to do! Also can't forget to give the staff a shout out. They were all super friendly and upbeat and made the whole experience very inviting and relaxed 😌 Free parking onsite. Lots of interesting and artistic sculptures, made from different materials. These are set within a woodland walk. There is a just before the start of the trail and a toilet block in the middle of the trail. You can buy many of the and there is also a gift shop that also stocks miniature sculptures. Good value and an interesting and enjoyable day trip. We had a quietly fabulous time, viewing and reviewing the amazing sculptures. This place feels like solace and offers a eclectic mix of various genres of sculptures. I was told that the exhibits change every year and sometimes more often. Well a visit. Over a hundred in a lovely wooded landscape. Easy to around with a good written guide (free with entry). Car parking on site. Takes about two hours to round at a leisurely pace. Plenty of shade on sunny days and seating for a short break on your journey. It has a for snacks, drinks or lunch, but didn't try it. Well a visit, lovely gardens, sculptures, Vegan friendly on site selling lovely snacks, cakes etc Went on Friday 19 December. Cool but dry evening. Really great evening - a lot of effort has gone into making this a good experience. Some of the installations are fantastic, particularly the laser effects, and the music is used really effectively to generate atmosphere without being too intrusive. Food and drink are both excellent and not ridiculously expensive. Highly recommended. Useful to take a torch!
