New Art Centre, Roche Court

The New Art Centre is a gallery and sculpture park situated at Roche Court, a 19th century house and park in Winterslow, Wiltshire. The centre was founded by Madeleine Bessborough and was originally located in Sloane Square, London untill 1994 when it moved to more picturesque surroundings. The vast sloping park surrounded by woods provides the perfect backdrop for the sculpture. The park is free and allows the public to see a wide range of 20th – 21st century sculpture from leading artists including Antony Gormley, Richard Long, Richard Deacon and Bill Woodrow. The sculptures incorporate a wide range of media, including bronze, marble, Corten steel, fibreglass resin and stainless steel.

The gallery was designed by architects Munkenbeck + Marshall in 1998 and has won six architectural awards, including the RIBA Stephen Lawrence Award for best small building. It's a really lovely light space and when we visited an exhibition by Craig Martin was showing.
