RHS Hyde Hall 2018

There has been more building work during 2017 and we will be altering the trail to take advantage of this. The new vegetable garden is proving very popular and RHS would like to see some site specific pieces in
this area. I hope you have all been working on your large veggies.

When stewarding, we will be based in the lovely old timber-framed barn at the top of the hill. There will be a small area for teas and coffees which will help to draw in the visitors and we would therefore like to place some eye-catching pieces inside the Barn itself.

Some of you may be concerned about the problems of a bad signal on site. We have been assured that at the top of the hill, our credit card machine will have good reception.

The HH Staff are incredibly excited about our return and it is very catching. This is still such a young site that the feeling is one of a growing family and a sense of privilege that we are all sharing in that glory.

During our time at Hyde Hall, there will be additional late night events which will open the trail to even more visitors (no steward cover required), 4 Thursdays late-night openings Two evenings of Theatre and a Jazz Evening. Doors for these events open around 6.30 and the shows begin at around 7-7.30pm.

The footfall at Hyde Hall is huge, reaching over 26,00 at weekends and events days and because of this, it is necessary to provide stewards on Fridays as well as at the weekends. Please don’t let this put you off.
Stewarding here is truly a joyous experience, with happy visitors and extremely helpful staff, not to mention a warm and dry area in which to steward.

Hyde Hall are keen to help all their visitors engage with the sculptures by continuing with the detailed signage produced for us by Wisley, so now is the time to give some thought to your wording.

We need just a few lines to illustrate the inspiration and/or your ideas behind your piece. Remember, what we do might seem mundane to us, whilst to others, it is a strange alchemy, so make it interesting, this is your chance to speak to the viewer in your absence.

I very much look forward to receiving your applications by 20th April
