FIVE artists draw on the inspiration of Hestercombe House and Gardens for a unique exhibition which opens this weekend.

Jo Lathwood, Laura Ellen Bacon, Megan Calver, Simon Hitchens and Patrick Lowry will have their work on show within the Hestercombe Gallery until April 12, 2015.

Hestercombe itself is a unique combination of landscapes spanning three periods of gardening history around the house.

It is this environment which has provided the inspiration for the exhibition - Second Site - which opens on Saturday (January 31, 2015).

The exhibition presents new work by five acclaimed artists who have used a diverse range of media from drawing and sculpture, to sound and film.

Admission to the exhibition is included as part of the usual garden entry price and is free to Hestercombe members.
