Grayson Perry and Juliet Stevenson Join Hirsh London and AT The Bus at Chelsea Flower Show

An inspiring evening of creativity, nature and hope took place during the RHS Chelsea Flower Show as Grayson Perry and Juliet Stevenson joined sculptor Paul Vanstone, Hirsh London and AT The Bus for a special two venue reception, celebrating the power of creativity and wellbeing.

Guests gathered among beautiful blooms, sculpture and nature-inspired design across Paul Vanstone’s Chelsea Flower Show installation and the new Paul Vanstone Garden at the Hirsh London boutique in Mayfair.

Grayson Perry’s extraordinary flower-inspired dress captured the joyful spirit of the evening, while supporters and friends came together to champion the important work of AT The Bus.

The charity, which provides art-based therapeutic support for children and young people, now works with schools across London and Oxfordshire, helping more than 1,000 students each year.

Filled with warmth, conversation and creativity, the evening was a celebration of community, imagination and the transformative power of art.

Paul Vanstone Returns to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026

We are delighted to announce that Paul Vanstone will once again be exhibiting at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, marking his 15th year showing on Main Avenue.

This year’s collection brings together a striking series of hand-carved sculptures created in our West London studio, featuring monumental heads, torsos, and figurative works carved from exceptional marbles and onyx sourced from around the world. From deep Bolivian blue marble to richly veined rainforest stone and luminous Iranian onyx, each piece celebrates the natural beauty and individuality of the material itself.

Set amongst the world’s finest gardens and landscape design, the stand presents a carefully curated selection of sculptures designed for both indoor and outdoor settings, offering visitors an opportunity to experience the dialogue between stone, form and nature.

Visitors can preview selected works from the exhibition including Observer, Apollo, Levitating, and Dreaming of Flight, through the digital catalogues below.

Carrara Triceratops installed into Berkeley Square

We were delighted to see our Carrara Triceratops Skull installed into Mayfair as part of the Berkeley Square Public Art programme. The piece will be there for 2 years, replacing a bronze Tyrannosaurus Rex, to bring Art, natural history education and enjoyment into the heart of London.

Carved from a single 10 tonne block of white Carrara marble, the spectacular work is an artistic interpretation of a 68-million-year-old sub-adult Triceratops Skull exhibited by David Aaron at Frieze Masters 2025. Measuring 3m high, 2.2m long, and 1.5m wide, the skull rests at a 20 degree angle on a grey-veined Carrara marble plinth.

It was a pleasure to work with the David Aaron team on this initiative.

Looking Back at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025

We’re thrilled to share that we had a wonderful time at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, and are deeply honoured to have been awarded 5 Stars once again!

The judges described our stand as:
“The stand takes you on a journey with moments of intrigue as you step onto the stand, finding works behind huge stone slabs. Planting is elegant and links the product in colours that are well considered. Planting is distributed elegantly without overpowering the works.”

We received exceptional marks across all categories including overall design, use of plant material, visual merchandising, signage, labelling, presentation, detail, finish, and storage.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible team — Paul, Kay, Gary, Emma, Liam, Caelo, Millie, Bev, Luke, Sarah, Tom, and Sophia — for their dedication, creativity, and tireless effort in making this happen.

News from Paul Vanstone

Dear Friends,

We’re looking forward to an exciting year of exhibitions, new opportunities and projects. 

I will be exhibiting a group of new, unseen sculptures at on form. This stunning show specialises in stone sculpture, set in the beautiful surroundings of Asthall Manor in Oxfordshire. The exhibition opens on 12th June until 10th July. Tickets will need to be purchased in advance. 

We’re delighted to continue our collaborations with the Moncrieff-Bray Gallery in West Sussex, The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden in Surrey and the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro, Cornwall, where we will be installing new pieces in the coming months. 

We’re especially delighted to be back at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, from 24th until 28th May 2022. We’re also excited to announce that we will be exhibiting in a new location on Royal Hospital Way at stand RHW 618. We will also be showing work with Raymond Blanc at the Jardin Blanc again this year.  

If you would like any further information or even a sneak preview of new work coming through the studio, please do contact us at paul@paulvanstone.co.uk.

We hope to see you all soon.

Chelsea Flower Show is imminent!

19.05.2016

Behold the imagery we are currently having printed to have on the stand! Taken yesterday this shot beautifully captures photographer David Anthony Hall’s Avenue of Trees and Paul’s Golden Veined Onyx Torso.

The next few days will be a flurry of planting, polishing and perfecting the stand all in time for the grand opening on Monday.

I’m told that the general quality of the gardens is excellent this year with James Basson once again raising the stakes and also a heavy use of stone in general through the show gardens. Well. Who can blame them? There’s even a possibility of one of Paul’s pieces being borrowed for a show garden…. watch this space for more info.
