The design was created by Rebecca Pitt, with photography by Michael Wharley, costume by Livvie Walters and assistance from Caitlin Eacott and Reuben Davies.
Access from 3pm onwards to the Nevill Holt estate gardens and Modern British sculpture collection as well as the 2024 Festival’s exhibitions of Anthony Caro and Eduardo Paolozzi’s sculptures, marking the centenary of both artist’s birth.
