Built in the 1690s, Newby Hall is the Compton family home.
Orlando Compton, son of owners Richard and Lucinda, assembled the collection. He said:
“It is thrilling to be able to stage our sculpture exhibition again after the pandemic enforced a two-year break.
“The exhibition features stunning artworks from artists from across the country and we are delighted to be able to showcase their talent to visitors over the coming months.
“This year’s exhibition is truly spectacular and demonstrates why art and culture are such an important part of life’s experiences.”
