Laura told us about Jupiter Artland a few weeks ago and as this was the last weekend it would be open until next year, we decided to held along a check it out.

You collect a map and then set off to discover the various art installations around the grounds.
-
-
The first installation was a giant sinkhole surrounded by a cage, meaning you couldn't see how deep it went. This was Tom's favourite piece.
-
-
-
Next was The Stone House which looked like a normal building from the outside but had a rocky uneven floor on the inside.
-
-
-
The largest sculpture in the park was a giant wire shape. Lots of people were trying to climb it, so we had to wait to get a good photo of it.
-
-
-
-
The next was a series of eerie stone sculptures called Weeping Girls which looked like something from an episode of Doctor Who.
-
-
There was also a giant gun leaning against a tree, a fake cemetery and a spiderweb crocheted out of fishing wire.
-
-
-
-
We stopped for lunch at the halfway point and Tom joined the very long queue at the Airstream cafe while I guarded a table.
-
-
The food was worth the wait as we happily tucked into our quiche and salmon sandwich.
-
-
There was an exhibition of porcelain dolls which had been altered to look like they were tearing themselves apart and pulling out their eyeballs.
-
-
-
We loved their happy little faces and got very tempted to buy one.
-
-
Back on the art trail, we made our way through the landscaped garden.
-
-
-
There were some boulders in trees which I couldn't really understand the inspiration for.
-
-
The best piece of art was a sculpture where you descend into a manmade cave filled with amethyst crystals.
-
-
-
It was so purple and one of the prettiest things I've ever seen.
-
-
-
We stopped off to pet the adorable donkeys before heading back in to the city.
