At Longleat’s historic Secret Garden, a new bronze sculpture created by internationally renowned artist and rock musician Ronnie Wood was recently installed. The artwork was carefully positioned by the estate’s team to take advantage of a prominent location within the garden, enhancing the site’s cultural and artistic appeal.

The installation, completed in late July 2026, reflects a collaboration that blends the estate’s long-standing heritage with contemporary artistic expression. Wood, known worldwide for his dual career as a musician and visual artist, contributed the sculpture as part of an ongoing effort to integrate modern artworks into traditional settings.

Longleat's Secret Garden, already noted for its historical significance and landscaped beauty, now features this striking bronze piece, adding to the site's array of attractions. The estate team managed the delicate process of moving and setting the heavy sculpture with precision to preserve the garden’s integrity and ensure optimal presentation.

This addition aligns with broader trends seen at historic properties seeking to revitalize visitor experiences by incorporating diverse artistic elements. The partnership with Wood highlights an intersection of music, art, and heritage that may attract a wider audience to Longleat’s grounds.

While details about the inspiration behind the sculpture have not been publicly disclosed, the collaboration reinforces Ronnie Wood’s ongoing commitment to visual arts alongside his music career. Longleat plans to showcase the sculpture as part of its seasonal offerings, potentially drawing interest from both art enthusiasts and fans of Wood’s musical legacy.
