If you’re visiting Claydon House over the next three weeks, you’re in for a treat. ✨

We’re welcoming incredible contemporary artworks from around the world as we prepare for White Cube at Claydon this summer — and you can catch a sneak preview of the installation in action.

Visitors this week will get a rare behind‑the‑scenes glimpse of how large‑scale sculpture is brought to life on site. Some areas will be temporarily closed for safety, but you’ll still be able to watch the magic unfold from designated viewing points.

It’s an exciting moment for Claydon, and we can’t wait to share the full exhibition with you soon.
