The Secret is out…
Throughout 2026 Creative Melbourne have collaborated with Melbourne Hall Gardens and are proud to share 36 contemporary sculptures by regional sculptors including Stephen Baillie, Rachel Carter, Ross Danby, Jenny Marshall, Ian Patrick Palmer, Nita Rao, Duncan Thurlby, David Turner and Matthew Warburton to complement Melbourne Hall’s collection of antique sculptures. The work has been on display throughout August and September, during normal opening hours at The Gardens – Melbourne Hall in Church Square Melbourne DE73 8EN. Entry is £10 per adult – FREE with a Festival Wristband over the weekend of Melbourne Festival – 19 & 20 September.
The Centrepiece of the garden is SHARED LINES by Glass Artist Stevie Davies. The piece is inspired by the repeated figures often seen in Ronald Popes work and consists of a rusting steel frame featuring three figures, fabricated in Melbourne by Acres Creative Engineering Solutions, each figure is embellished with coloured fused glass pieces made by Creative Melbourne Volunteers at a workshop led by Stevie. The finished piece celebrates community and creativity, embodying the very essence of Creative Melbourne & the 21 years of Melbourne Festival.
It will be permanently sited in Melbourne.
