WORK by artists of international repute is to go on show in an exhibition of contemporary sculpture.

For the third year, Newby Hall near Ripon, North Yorkshire, is staging a sculpture exhibition with about 40 works on show.

The artists include Sir Anthony Caro, William Pye, Peter Randall Page and Nicola Hicks and the show promises a mix of figurative and abstract work in glass, bronze, steel, willow, wood and acrylic.

Pieces will be sited along a circular route in the woodland and nearby orchard of the grounds.

Local sculptors Steve Blaylock and Anthony Sturgiss are working on site, taking their inspiration from the woodland.

The Sculpture Park will be open from June 1 to September 28, from 11am to 5.30pm daily, except Mondays but including Bank Holidays. All exhibits will be for sale, and many of the sculptors are also available for commissions.
