Brochure and Show Guide
Our glossy A5 brochure contains a history of the house and gardens, a map of the gardens with each area listed and information on each of the sculptors in the show with a photograph of one of their pieces. They also contain our show guide which lists all of the sculptures at Wyndcliffe Court, with their price. This is regularly updated to take account of any changes.
The sculptures
All sculptures are for sale and are individually labelled and priced. To make a purchase or for further information about any of the pieces, please ask a member of staff at Wyndcliffe Court. We can take cash, card, Paypal and cheque payment. Many of the pieces can be taken from the gardens straight away, if the piece is an edition or the artist can replace it with another of their pieces. Large/heavy pieces must be delivered by the sculptor, who will contact you to arrange this.
There are two separate shows in 2015, each will feature new pieces and new artists. If you decide that you would like to purchase a piece after the show has finished, or once you have got home, please contact us and if the piece has not sold in the meantime we can take payment and deliver the sculpture to you.
