Waddesdon Learning- Artist Call Out

Waddesdon Manor is a stately home in Buckinghamshire, managed by the charitable Rothschild Foundation on behalf of the National Trust.
In 2027 we are celebrating 150 years since the Foundation stone was laid, as well as the 70th anniversary of Waddesdon Manor being given to the National Trust.
In honour of this, we would like to engage with our local schools and community groups, to create a display of artwork.
The Learning team at Waddesdon has a long tradition of schools artwork displays; traditionally this has been at Christmas. In previous years, the team have worked with artists to create displays that feature work primarily made by local school children, including lanterns made from natural materials, animals from recyclables and much more.
In 2025, 14,067 local school children took part, across 81 schools. We aim to work with as many students, schools, and community groups as we can.
This brief concerns the dressing of Miss Alice’s Drive, our woodland walk, specifically working with the Learning team, in addition to a parade of artwork to and along Miss Alice’s Drive.
Artworks will be outside, so must be robust enough to withstand just over two weeks in a British early Spring, as well as potential visitor interference.
The installation date for the display will be Thursday 25 March 2027
