Surrey Sculpture Society is back at Claremont Landscape Garden this summer with a brand-new walking trail exhibiting sculptures from members of the society.

Last year the trail saw over 90 works of art exhibited around the lake providing an opportunity to experience art against the elegant background of Claremont’s Lake, amphitheatre and pastoral landscape views.

This year's trail will feature brand new artworks featuring a mix of traditional, modern and innovative artworks created by the Society’s army of talented sculptors – both emerging and professional artists. All works will be available for visitors to purchase.

This year visitors will also be able to join in with guided tours of the artwork, a family trail and a weekend clay workshops.
