Art & Nature
in Harmony
Nestled in a woodland valley at the base of the Surrey
Hills, The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden presents
an ever changing collection of contemporary sculpture
carefully displayed throughout a uniquely landscaped
garden. Every sculpture is thoughtfully placed in
relation to the garden to create a journey through
intimate spaces, past ponds and streams, to wide
lawns and winding woodland paths. Broad in styles,
themes, materials and scale, the sculptures on display
range in price from £300 to £30,000. Whether you’re
looking for something small, a dramatic centre
piece, or simply some inspiration for your
own garden, the sculpture garden is
bound to inspire. Open Thursday-
Sunday until 31st October. Tickets
must be booked in advance

Get Your Knit On!
Sweater Weather is a brand-new festival
in the Farnham Maltings craft programme.
The celebration (10 & 11 Sept) welcomes
makers and creatives of all abilities for
an intimate community craft experience
where you can discover new makers, handdyed
yarns, local and UK-based traders
and yarn brands in a curated marketplace;
learn new skills with a series of workshops
and be engaged listening to talks from a
range of craft experts. We love the look of
the Yarn Dying and Jumbo Arm Knitted
Blanket courses, which both take place
on Friday 10. farnhammaltings.com
LOOK FORWARD:
Rye Bay E-Bikes specialise in bike hire, tours, sales and servicing. At
the end of each season they sell off their hire stock. This ensures that
the bikes for sale are in good condition whilst the ones they bring
in for their hire customers next year are brand new. All bikes come
with a full warranty and each battery will have had a capacity test,
so you know exactly what you’re getting. The sale will be on a first
come first serve basis, so why not pop down, hire a bike and register
your interest. The sale starts on October 2. ryebay-ebike.co.uk
