Sculpture and Poetry Walk with Carol Peace and Lunch
Dotted around our beautiful estate are 69 sculptures created by more than 20 sculptors from around the country.
An art gallery is one thing, but stepping out into the landscape, especially one overlooking the Exe estuary, and wandering among the sculptures in their environment, with the changing light and distant view, is quite another experience altogether.
The figurative bronze sculptures included in our Sculpture Walk are created by Carol Peace. We are delighted to host this Sculpture and Poetry Walk with Carol.
Carol not only makes sculpture she writes short poems that run alongside the work, this event is an opportunity to get inside the head of her version of the work, what she is trying to do and why she is so passionate about making sculpture.
It will be a presentation of ideas, Carol makes sculpture of people, for people so your ideas are just as valuable and of course questions and discussions will be part of the day.
‘My work is about the every person, the you, the me.’

Carol Peace Bio
Founder of the Bristol Drawing School and London Fields Poetry, Carol Peace is a figurative sculptor who could not work without drawing. “It’s all about trying to see, drawing enables that.”
Her intensely personal work is shown and collected all over the UK, Europe, the Far East and United States. Her large-scale work is permanently on show at Glyndebourne and at the Dorchester’s country house hotel in Ascot.
“The work is about everyday life, in its minutia, the sheer fantastic-ness of it all. It’s about those quite moments, a small gesture, the pressure of a hand in yours, of skin resting on skin
‘My sculptures are messages of love. Parcels wrapped up in the shape of you. That’s why you smile, it’s the love, hidden inside’
