Avebury Manor sculpture exhibition features work by 23 artists

All the artwork has gone on sale, and the National Trust has said funds raised will go towards the upkeep of the garden.

Amelia Bryan, senior house and collections officer for the National Trust, said she works with the artists to position the sculptures.

She added: “We give a rough idea of where we want them to go and where it might look good and they kind of titivate around that.

“To just have them embedded in the shrubbery is very beautiful. They bring the garden alive.”

The 2025 exhibition will run daily until 19 October.

Meanwhile, Mr Mumford said he hoped to enjoy his favourite piece.

“There’s a lovely bronze owl looking down at a mouse, on a tall piece of timber and I just think it tells a wonderful story.”
