Basildon Park Exhibition, Autumn 2026

The on-line entry form for the Basildon Park Autumn 2026 exhibition will be open in the Members’ Area on the OSG website between 3rd and 31st August. This is an outdoor only exhibition and stewarding by exhibitors is not required. See below here for further information about how to access and submit these forms.

Basildon Park is a new venue for OSG and we are excited to have this opportunity to put on an exhibition of members’ work at this National trust property near Reading. The gardens and landscapes here have been carefully restored to offer wonderful views and trails. The park is renowned for its autumn colours and so should make a great backdrop for the sculptures. You can find out more about Basildon Park from their website here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/oxfordshire-buckinghamshire-berkshire/basildon-park
