David Goode Sculpture Ltd

David Goode's sculpture studio sits quietly on the Oxfordshire side of Oxford - the sort of place you'd walk past without knowing what you're missing. This is a working gallery and atelier where Goode creates large-scale pieces, many of them site-specific commissions for public spaces and private collections. What you get is access to see contemporary sculpture in its raw state: not polished gallery perfection, but the actual environment where the work happens.

The pieces range from abstract forms to more figurative work, and there's something rather brilliant about seeing them in a studio setting rather than a white-walled gallery. You can grasp the scale, the material choices, the craftsmanship. It's ideal for anyone serious about sculpture or contemporary art - casual visitors might find it a bit specialist, but if you're the type who gets excited about form and material, you'll spend a good hour here minimum.

Hours and admission details aren't readily available online, so phone ahead before making the trip from Cedar Hollow Oxford or any of the nearby caravan sites. It's the sort of place that works well as part of a broader Oxford arts day rather than a standalone outing. If you're camping locally - Durham Leys Farm or Valley Farm are both close - you could easily tack this on to a morning in the city centre.
