“Many of the artists are local and each has a unique style, so there’s something for everyone, from glassworks to bronzes, wood and ceramic – and all are for sale if you can’t resist the temptation.”

Included in the selection is a head in stone made from Clipsham stone, created by artist Fiona Peever from Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.

The has event returned due to its popularity when it was launched last year and opened on Friday. It will run until October 1 with and is included in the standard ticket price for the National Trust location.
