More than 100 sculptures are now on display across Borde Hill Gardens in West Sussex as part of its summer events programme.
The garden’s Sculpture Exhibition, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, is one of the attraction’s biggest events this summer.
The annual display, which is now open, sees the garden transformed into an outdoor gallery, with a diverse collection of sculptures to marvel at, and runs until 30th September.
There are more than 100 pieces of sculpture in stone, stained glass, ceramic, resin and metalwork across the 17-acre garden in Haywards Heath.
