This summer, Nicola Talbot, custodian of Falconhurst in kent, is hosting Stone, an exhibition of striking outdoor sculptures made from stone by renowned British sculptors, such as Luke Dickinson whose work Rising and Falling is pictured here. Built in the 19th century, the Falconhurst Estate is today managed by the fifth generation of the Talbot family including a working farm and beautiful garden. The garden features a series of outdoor rooms, tree-lined walks, architectural enclaves, plus cut-flower and vegetable gardens. The exhibition takes place from 29 June - 26 July with tickets priced at £11.50. Prices for the sculptures start at £2,000.
