In a garden setting, the Garden of Heroes and Villains is home to more than 50 life-size, bronze statues of iconic figures.

Join us for our last fundraising day of the 2026 season in the stunning Garden of Heroes & Villains , a private sculpture garden commissioned by our late Founder Felix Dennis, and meet some of history’s greats, immortalised in bronze.

Come face-to-face with Muhammed Ali, cross the finish line with Roger Bannister, take front row for The Beatles, join Lawrence of Arabia at full charge on camel-back or take a trip with the Owl & the Pussycat and see the pig with the ring in the end of his nose!

With activities on this open day for the whole family, including a yew hedge maze, poetry garden, woodland walks and a collection of over 50 stunning sculptures, not forgetting a top notch BBQ served by the fantastic Big Lee's BBQ & Grill, it's a unique day out in the Heart of England Forest!

Admission by pre-purchased tickets only and places are limited. Please consider choosing a charity ticket which includes a donation to help grow the Forest.
