Houghton Lodge Gardens near Stockbridge has unveiled Fluvii, a sculpture exhibition running until September 30, that explores the theme of “flow” in both nature and creativity.
The title Fluvii comes from the Latin word for “flow” and the exhibition features more than 50 original works by 16 artists, displayed throughout the 15-acre site.
The concept for Fluvii was developed collaboratively by Exhibition curator Sarah Rancans, Houghton Lodge owner Sophie Busk, and stone carver Zoë Wilson.
“Curating a showcase of sculptures that could speak to one another in this serene, contemplative setting was a captivating idea.”
Many of the participating artists trained at the City & Guilds of London Art School.
Each piece has been created in response to the landscape and character of the gardens.
The exhibition transforms familiar areas of Houghton Lodge Gardens, with bronze and steel sculptures nestled among plants in the Walled Garden.
The Conservatory serves as an indoor gallery, lit by natural light and filled with hand-carved stone, porcelain, and prints.
In the Oriental Garden, sculptures reflect the tranquil setting and artistic interpretation of the space.
The works explore the dual meanings of “flow,” with some echoing the movement and rhythm of water, while others capture the focused, changing flow of the creative process.
All artworks are available for purchase, with prices from £100 to £18,000.
Visitors can explore the gardens and sculptures daily from 10am to 5pm.
The Glasshouse Tearoom is open throughout the exhibition, offering light lunches, cream teas, and homemade cakes.
Dogs on short leads are welcome.

The exhibition aims to offer a peaceful cultural experience, blending art and nature to help visitors slow down and see the world differently.
The organisers hope that guests will leave feeling refreshed and inspired by the beauty and serenity of the setting.
