Sculpture Tours for University of Exeter Retired Staff

Led by Naome Glanville, Arts and Culture Coordinator, Library and Culture Services

Join a tour of the University of Exeter sculpture trail at the heart of Streatham campus, co-organised by both the Global Engagement and Development team and David Batty, Chairman of the University of Exeter Retired Staff Association.


Event details

We are arranging an informal yet informative tour of the fascinating range of sculptures on central campus, led by the University’s Arts and Culture Co-ordinator, Naome Glanville.

Included in this guided walk you will see works by renowned artists such as Dame Barbara Hepworth, Peter Randall-Page and Paul Mount, not to mention our ‘sculpture with a story’ – the Tiananmen Square figure.  You will see artworks from the 1960s to the present day, including a piece by the Student Art Society with Ed Crumpton.

Refreshments will also be provided at no cost.

Tours will last for 1 hour 15 minutes and are wheelchair friendly. There will be some uphill walking and some walking on grass too, so please wear appropriate footwear and clothing for the weather.

Advance booking is essential as places are limited.  Please select your preference for the tour you would most wish to attend.
