Time Horizon, one of Antony Gormley's most spectacular large-scale installations, will be shown at Houghton Hall this summer - the first time the work will be staged in the UK! 100 life-size cast-iron sculptures have been carefully distributed across 300 acres of the park, meticulously installed at the same datum level to create a single horizontal plane across the landscape. Here until 31 October and not to be missed - named by the Times critics as one of the '40 hottest tickets for summer'! Dame Magdalene Odundo is one of the world's most revered ceramic artists, see her works in the Stone Hall this summer with the chance to witness a significant new commission conceived during Odundo's residency at the iconic Wedgwood factory in Stoke-on-Trent.

Built for Britain’s first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, in the 1720s, Houghton Hall is now home to the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley. You’ll find sumptuous furnishings inside this fine Palladian mansion whilst outside is an award-winning Walled Garden and extensive parkland, which is home to a herd of white fallow deer. You can also see the largest private collection of model soldiers in the world and wander through the extensive grounds, featuring an impressive permanent collection of contemporary sculptures. Find out more.

"Absolutely fantastic day. The walled gardens are superb. The exhibitions and sculptures are a sight to behold. The Hall and its history are worth the visit. One of the friendliest historic sites ever visited - the staff and volunteers really make it memorable, plus the café has the most delicious homemade food. Thoroughly recommend a visit." Visitor review.

The coach is due to arrive at 12:30 and depart at 16:00.
