Wildlife in Bronze & Resin, Carol Bryant. 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Twenty bronze and resin works line the walk through the winery precinct at Benguela Cove: a cheetah at full extension with every foot off the ground, two giraffe bulls locked in the slow combat of necking, a black rhino, a warthog, an otter, a hunting leopard, and an edition of the Archbishop Desmond Tutu bust. British sculptor Carol Bryant has studied African wildlife across Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Namibia and England, in the wild and in conservation settings, including time spent with cheetah and wild dogs at the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre near Pretoria.
