From Ruth Rollason -
a HUGE thank you for all those who donated, bid and bought raffle tickets for the Monkton Sculpture Trail.. over £3000 was raised!!
As an independently funded event this will contribute to a catalogue, workshops, and financial contribution to the people and organisations who are creating fabulous work for Monkton Nature Reserve

NOW needs you to visit the Reserve. The soft opening is Saturday 11 May 2024.
The sculptures will be at the Reserve till September.
There will be events during this time so visit often. There will be postings of events. If the unique environment and sculpture isn't enough to entice you, there is also an exceptional second hand bookshop, tiny museum, and a coffee shop selling the best carrot cake...
