We work closely with artists and talented craftspeople, and like to think of our parkland as an outdoor exhibition space open to some of the creative minds we most admire. Our artist in residence series promises spectacular sculpture and sights around the gardens, and the chance to get up-close and hands-on via talks, events and group demonstrations in our thoughtfully restored studios. Learn floristry, basketry, embroidery, metalwork, millinery and more. 

Our first artist in the spotlight, Helen Colletta, brings her contemporary willow sculptures to our gardens this spring; all handmade in nearby Wickhambrook, they will charm visitors at unexpected twists and turns throughout our estate. And because we're fans of bringing learning and little moments of luxury together, fans of her work can learn the ropes in one of Helen's insightful workshops with a glass of something fizzy in hand. Alternatively, invest in your own piece and take a bit of Branches Park home with you.
