Day 1 of artist collections is well underway.
We have had 5 artists stop by today to start the collections off, and it is always such a pleasure to see everyone as we say goodbye to another year at The Cotswold Sculpture Park.
Dave is currently helping Matthew Sanderson load his Orb into his trailer to take back to his studio.
We have enjoyed Matthew's work in the park for the last two years, with his Orb also featuring in our lightshow last winter.
Although it can be quite sad to see the artwork leave us, it also marks the beginning of an exciting few months as we start to plan what to fill the park with next year.

The gates may be closed for another season, but there’s still plenty happening behind the scenes at Cotswold Sculpture Park!
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be welcoming artists back to collect their sculptures. Many pieces have sold and will soon be making their way to their new homes, while others will return with their artists, ready to be exhibited at shows elsewhere.
These photos show sculptor William Johnston, who visited us to collect his work before delivering this piece to its lovely new owners.
It’s always a pleasure to see Bill, and we’re looking forward to catching up with many more of our artists over the next couple of weeks as the park slowly winds down for winter.
A lovely end to another season. 🌿

Martin Adamson’s charming ‘Early Bird’ found its new home on the very last day of our 2026 season.
Created in iron resin and brass on borewood, this wonderfully characterful little owl has been a lovely presence in the park throughout the season. We’re delighted to see it heading off to be enjoyed in its new home.
A lovely way to round off an incredible season of sculpture, and another red dot to finish the year! ❤️

A lovely one to finish the season on! 🦈
‘Shark Infested Water’ by Owen Meredith became the final sculpture sold on the final day of our 2026 season.
Featuring two beautifully carved oak sharks circling above a Corten steel bowl, it’s a wonderfully playful piece and we’re delighted it has found a new home.
A fitting way to round off another brilliant season at Cotswold Sculpture Park. Thank you once again to everyone who visited, collected and supported our artists this year. 🤍

And just like that, that’s a wrap on our 2026 season! 🌿
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful artists, staff, collectors and visitors who have helped make this year such a special one.
It’s been an incredible season, and we’re so grateful to everyone who has visited, supported the park, discovered a new artist or taken a sculpture home with them.
For now, the gates are closed, but we can’t wait to do it all again next year.
See you in 2027! 💚
A little more about our 2026 Sculpture of the Year, Resting by Vanessa Lawrence.
This life-size figure is made from wire and pebbles. Vanessa uses herself as a reference for her figurative work, and Resting grew from something deeply personal: her experience of finding it difficult to pause. The calm figure invites us to reflect on what rest means in our own lives.
Vanessa is only the second female artist to receive this award, following Penny Hardy’s win last year. She joins other previous winners Jonty Hurwitz, Matthew Duke, Graeme Lougher and Ed Elliott.
We can’t wait to present Vanessa with her well-deserved award for a sculpture that has prompted so much thought and conversation at the park. Congratulations again, Vanessa, and thank you to everyone who voted. 💚
