Cass Sculpture Foundation Review

Brilliant day out! It is a walking trail around some 50 sculptures with huge variety and in a beautiful setting. A bit more information in the guide on each sculpture would be useful

An amazing place to spend the day! We enjoyed most of the 53 sculptures/installations scattered around the forest. Worth buying annual subscription if you live close because you will definitely want to visit again.

Great institution supporting and funding the work of new artists.



There were lots of families when we visited (Saturday). The space is very open so kids can run around. A few were climbing some of the sculptures - which I don't think is appropriate - but most were having a great time whilst still behaving themselves.

There are no food or drink facilities on site so if you are planning to make a day of it then possibly consider bringing a picnic with you.

Like most art, personal taste plays a big part in whether you will like it or not - even if the pieces don't resonate with you personally, I would imagine most people can at least appreciate the skill and effort that has gone into their creation. There were a few installations that I thought were a bit out there, but that did make me stop and think a bit.

Well worth a visit and you will be supporting the arts too.

Lovely atmosphere huge sculpture and gorgeous bluebells

Very chilled atmosphere and a fantastic setting for some great works

Absolutely stunning place. You can do the walk with a buggy, but its a lot of up and down. The sculptures are stunning. Huge. Beautiful setting. You do wonder who buys this stuff and where could they put it!

Cass Sculpture, set in beautiful surroundings, some of the installations, exhibits all very nice. This was my third visit over the many years, and, I enjoyed a very nice walk in the woodland with superb weather for a September afternoon. However, the devil as they say is always in the detail. Some of the installations could have been placed a little bit with more care, perhaps covering some of the ugly steel Base plates with woodland soil, so as to make the sculpture look as though at one with its surroundings. I know that such art is designed to be moved around at times, but for me it caused my eye to linger too long at the slight mistake. I have given a four star rating, it does deserve a five star but perhaps in the future it may earn one. Cass sculpture is a place to visit, a place to take picnic and to enjoy the woodland and surrounding views, ideal for families. For an individual using a wheelchair this is very accessible. Toilet facilities also on site and picnic area.

Had a great time walking around the woods in beautiful weather today for 2.5hrs. Staff very friendly and during the week it's empty. Sculptures are an eye opener for people like me that know little about it, so a great introduction in a fantastic woodland area.
