Sublime Sculpture Trail Safari

Leeds Castle’s Sublime Sculpture Trail Safari is one of the highlights of the wider Festival of Craft and Design, running from the 26th August to 8th October. This year’s theme for the event is animals and their habitats, with a stunning range of sculptures made from different materials placed throughout the Castle grounds for the public to enjoy.

Visitors to the Sculpture Trail will be able to explore the Castle’s stunning grounds and gardens. They will enjoy the breathtaking artwork created by a diverse group of local and international artists. The sculptures will be placed in various locations throughout the grounds, with some hidden in unexpected corners and others towering within the treetops.

Carefully chosen, each sculpture will reflect the theme. Visitors will be able to see a wide range of different animals represented, with unexpected delights to keep an eye out for.

The artists featured in the Sculpture Trail come from a wide range of backgrounds and have worked with a variety of materials, from bronze and stone to wood and even recycled materials. This array of artwork ensures that there is something for everyone on the trail, from traditional sculpture enthusiasts to those who are just discovering the beauty of this unique art form.

In addition to the Sculpture Trail, the wider Festival of Craft and Design offers a range of other events and activities designed to celebrate the beauty and richness of Leeds Castle and its unique history and design. From workshops and talks to photography competitions and food fairs, there is something for everyone to enjoy and explore at this truly unique venue.

Leeds Castle’s Sculpture Trail promises to be an unforgettable experience for anyone who loves art, nature, or simply enjoys exploring the beauty of new places with friends and family.
