Built in 1710 on the site of a Tudor farmstead, the present house at Riverhill has been the ancestral home of the Rogers family for almost two centuries. Known for its beautiful and historic gardens and expansive views across the Weald of Kent, Riverhill was shortlisted for the Historic House Association Garden of the Year Award in 2021 and provides an idyllic natural setting for engaging with sculpture.

Everard Read has curated an exhibition to include bronze sculpture by celebrated South African artists Beezy Bailey, Deborah Bell, Guy du Toit, Speelman Mahlangu, Lionel Smit, and Florian Wozniak as well as work by British artist, Olivia Musgrave. The exhibition showcases monumental as well as mid-scale sculpture, presented across the gardens including the Walled Garden and amphitheatre, the Rose Walk and the Terraces.
