Wollombi Valley Sculpture Festival is a biennial celebration of art, nature, and community held in the heart of the Wollombi Valley.

In 2026 it will run from 12th – 27th September.

Nestled among the rolling hills and historic charm of the Wollombi Valley, the Wollombi Valley Sculpture Festival invites visitors to experience contemporary sculpture in a uniquely immersive setting. Held every two years, the festival transforms the valley into an open-air gallery where visitors can wander through scenic vineyards, explore curated indoor exhibitions, and engage with a dynamic calendar of events.

The Wollombi Valley Sculpture Festival is NSW’s longest-running and largest-scale regional festival. Since its inception in 2002, the festival has grown into a vibrant cultural event that showcases the work of both leading and emerging Australian artists across vineyards, village spaces and indoor galleries.

The Wollombi Valley Sculpture Festival is a community-driven, not-for-profit initiative, supported by over 100 passionate local volunteers. The festival is proud to have Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of NSW, as its Patron. Each festival features the prestigious Governor’s Prize, with the winning sculpture exhibited at Government House for 12 months — an honour that reflects the festival’s commitment to artistic excellence and public engagement.

Visitors are encouraged to stay, explore, and enjoy the valley’s boutique wineries, cafés and accommodation while discovering the transformative power of sculpture in nature.

Join us for an experience where art, wine, and landscape converge — in less than two hours from Sydney.
