Stoberry Art in the garden

Magnificent views surround you, forever changing. In one area of the garden, you can view the four churches, Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury Tor, St Cuthbert's and St Thomas's, with the Vale of Avalon stretched out before you. We use this wonderful setting to display works of art and sculpture for you to enjoy while wandering around the garden during our charity functions.

Our wish is to give people pleasure, allow you to see sculptures in a setting that they relate so well to. We aim to change our exhibitions several times during the year to enable you to enjoy the changing seasons within the garden, and stimulate your imagination.

These six acres blend wild life ponds, formal ponds, walled garden, sunken garden, small orchard, and the large variety of interesting plants add to the enjoyment of this garden.

overlooking Wells Cathedral: St Cuthbert's majestic tower, and St Thomas's spire, with Glastonbury Tor as a background: you will understand when one says how lucky I am to garden in such outstanding surroundings; everywhere one turns a different vista appears.

At Art in the Garden, and on other exhibition days, works of art are displayed within the garden, supporting charities and many of our local Somerset artists.

The garden season starts with daffodils giving way to iris's, clematis, roses, grasses, etc. This is a garden that everyone can aspire to. The garden design is not based around the usual rooms, but around vistas, with sculpture being used as accents. A garden with your every day plants and also some special little gems.

The house and gardens are situated at the top of Stoberry Park, overlooking the historic City of Wells.

Landscape ponds, water features, sculpture and art for garden gourmets who enjoy magnificent views, with easy access to a lovely arboretum, and where accommodation is offered in one self contained studio cottage.

Entry to the garden is only permitted by prior arrangement: see booking form. We welcome groups and individuals who have pre-booked their date. The Park is Private, and no entry is allowed without a confirmed booking.
