Event Information
About this event
Special Tours to be held during our 'Open Studios' weekend 14th-15th May
For the Marchmont's Open Studios weekend we are holding 60 minute tours, however the ticket includes entry to the Open Studios event after your tour, and so a separate ticket is not required.
Tours are at 11:15, 11:45 (on Sat), 12:45, 14:30 and 16:00
Tickets cost £12.50 plus Eventbrite booking fee - children under 13 are FREE.
These guided tours will include the recently renovated Walled Garden that is not normally open to the public, and will shine a light on the giants Anthony Gormley, Eduardo Paolozzi, William Turnbull, and David Nash, whose work features in the Marchmont collection, as well as showcasing a new generation of 'local hero' sculptors working in Scotland today, including; Keith McCarter, Frippy Jameson and Charlie Poulsen.
The Sculpture Collection has surely something for everyone, covering a period from the early 18th century to 2021, and including abstract work, classical figures to growing works and pieces inspired by the trees and landscape of the estate.
