Brick sculpture trail to be installed at RHS Harlow Carr

Friday, 5 June 2026 06:30

The "Brick Explorers" experience is coming to RHS Harlow Carr this summer.

A new brick-built sculpture trail will be installed at RHS Harlow Carr this summer.

The "Brick Explorers" experience will run daily from 18th July until 6th September at the Harrogate garden.

Visitors will be able to follow a trail featuring wildlife sculptures made from hundreds of thousands of bricks, while learning about biodiversity and the natural world.

Children can pick up an activity booklet, collect wildlife "superpowers" from sculptures hidden around the garden and take part in challenges designed to highlight the importance of supporting wildlife habitats.

A spokesperson for RHS Harlow Carr said:

"Brick Explorers is a fun-filled family adventure celebrating the amazing biodiversity found in our gardens.

"Discover wildlife superhero sculptures made from hundreds of thousands of bricks, pick up an activity booklet packed with fun facts and challenges, follow the wildlife superhero trail and get creative at the interactive brick building station – all inspired by the plants, animals and fungi that call our gardens home."

Alongside the sculpture trail, a brick building station will be available on weekdays from 20th July to 4th September.

Held at The Lodge, the drop-in activity will invite visitors to help transform a model grey city into a greener, more wildlife-friendly space through nature-inspired creations.

The sculpture trail will be open daily from 9.30am until 6pm and is suitable for all ages.

Garden admission applies, with free entry for RHS members and children under five. Children aged between five and 16 can visit for £6.
