About

In partnership with OUTSIDE and three acclaimed Staffordshire Moorlands artists – David Bethell, Mally Mallinson and Stephanie Rushton – Earthly Delights, is a contemporary art project celebrating 200 years since Ilam Hall was completed and 100 years of National Trust care, working alongside the Youth Hostel Association.

The installation will transform the landscape of Ilam Park with a striking dome-shaped structure inspired by the estate’s lost glasshouses and conservatories. Filled with plants, saplings, stone, soil and sculptural elements, Earthly Delights will explore themes of growth, renewal, loss and our evolving relationship with nature.
