Easter Sculpture Festival

Date: Friday, Apr 19 2019 - Monday, Apr 22 2019
Venue: University of Bristol Botanic Garden

Greek gods, attired Tuareg musicians from the Sahara, a bronze fox skulking across the grass, swirling multimedia figures, stunning stained glass creations and bronze and marble sculptures based on Buddhist prayer wheels are all waiting to welcome the visitor to this year’s Sculpture Festival at the University of Bristol Botanic Garden.

Now an established event in the south-west arts and gardening calendar, this year’s Festival features more sculptors than ever before, working in a wide range of different materials.

The Botanic Garden provides a unique setting with its own backdrop of sculptural elements including soaring bamboos, prehistoric tree ferns, giant leaves and exotic treasures in the glasshouses.
