Doddington Hall’s annual sculpture festival is set to begin this month, overcoming fears of cancellation due to COVID-19.
The exhibition will take place at the hall’s gardens and stable yard between Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, September 6.
There will be daily galleries of works by 68 sculptors from all over the world.
Almost all of the pieces on display will be on sale, in an aid to help fund the careers of the sculptors chosen for the exhibition.

Other rules include no large bags or dogs, but photography is welcomed.
Tickets will cost £7.50 for adults, £3.50 for children, or £19 whole families.
