Connectivity-Inspired Sculptures for Beyond Horizons 2026

4 September - 5 October 2026, open 6 days a week

We are seeking applications to display sculpture on the theme of Connectivity for Beyond Horizons 2026.

Beyond Horizons refers both to Stoberry Park Garden's stunning views over Somerset and to exhibition founders Tim and Frances Meeres-Young's ambitions for building an annual exhibition of high-profile sculptural work, offering a much-needed platform for celebrating sculpture in the South-West.
