Where the Wild Things Come to Rest Art Exhibition 

Carol Bryant Sculpture Exhibition at Benguela Cove

2 October 2026 - 31 March 2027

Discover one of the Western Cape's most captivating outdoor art experiences at Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate. From 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, acclaimed British sculptor Carol Bryant presents Where the Wild Things Come to Rest, a remarkable exhibition of wildlife sculptures set against the breathtaking landscapes of Walker Bay. 

With free admission during normal estate opening hours, visitors are invited to explore this unique sculpture park at their own pace. Just a short drive from Hermanus and an easy day trip from Cape Town, the exhibition offers an inspiring blend of fine art, nature and award-winning hospitality. 

Featuring striking bronze and resin sculptures, the collection celebrates the beauty, strength and character of some of the world's most iconic wildlife. From powerful predators to graceful herbivores and fascinating birdlife, every piece reflects Carol Bryant's exceptional craftsmanship and deep understanding of the natural world. Carefully positioned throughout the estate, each sculpture becomes part of the surrounding vineyards, indigenous fynbos and panoramic mountain and lagoon views. 

Whether you are searching for an art gallery near Hermanus, a sculpture park near Cape Town, or unique things to do in the Cape Winelands, this outdoor exhibition offers an unforgettable cultural experience for art lovers, collectors, families and visitors exploring the Cape Whale Coast. 

For collectors, all sculptures featured in the exhibition are available for purchase. This is a rare opportunity to acquire original wildlife sculpture from an internationally recognised artist, with works suitable for private collections, luxury homes, hospitality spaces and corporate environments. Knowledgeable gallery representatives are available to assist with enquiries and acquisitions throughout the exhibition. 

A visit to Benguela Cove offers far more than an art exhibition. Enjoy award-winning wines, exceptional dining, wine tastings, family-friendly activities and spectacular scenery, all within one of South Africa's premier wine estates. Combine your visit with lunch overlooking the lagoon, explore the estate on foot, or simply take time to appreciate how art and nature come together in this extraordinary setting.

Conveniently located near Hermanus and approximately 90 minutes from Cape Town, Benguela Cove is an ideal destination for a day trip, weekend outing or leisurely stop along the Cape Whale Coast.
