Visit
Cheeseburn Sculpture is a unique destination for contemporary art in the North East of England. Each summer our programme features three curated gallery exhibitions together with new sculptures and sound installations throughout the gardens.
We are open on selected weekends throughout the year, our 2019 open weekends will be shared soon on our website and Facebook page!
We are a charity and suggest a donation of £5 per adult on entry. We have a cash-only cafe serving delicious homemade cakes, salads & drinks. We have a strict policy of no dogs, picnics and ball games within the sculpture gardens. Visitors may have picnics in the field adjoining the car park. We look forward to welcoming you.
Cheeseburn can also be visited by appointment and group visits can be arranged throughout the year.
