Skulpturparken Blokhus

Step into a world of art, nature, and sensory experiences at Skulpturparken Blokhus – a unique oasis spanning more than 20,000 m² filled with fascinating sculptures created by both Danish and international artists.

Here, aesthetics and atmosphere come together in beautiful gardens, mirrored water features, and verdant settings, where each sculpture tells its own story.

Whether you are looking for tranquillity, inspiration, or a fun day out for the whole family, Skulpturparken Blokhus invites you to explore, enjoy, and wonder all year round – from spring's blossoming flowers to the park's magical Christmas lights.

The story behind it

It all started in 2013

Skulpturparken Blokhus has developed significantly since its beginnings in 2013, when John Andersen transformed the former school from 1958 into the setting for the first Sand- og Træskulpturfestival.

Since then, the park has grown from a local festival into a complete experience centred on art, nature, and gastronomy. Over the years, blossoming sensory gardens, lakes, an orangery, a café, an art shop, and new exhibition areas have been added.

Highlights include the world's tallest sandcastle in 2021, the magical holiday tradition Magisk Jul, and a series of artistic exhibitions and collaborations that continue to make the park a vibrant cultural hub by the North Sea.

Experiences for the whole family

The sculpture park offers a full day of experiences for young and old alike.

Kulturhuset, where the reception for the sculpture park is also located, hosts many activities. Here, you will find Kulturhuset's café and art shop, among other things.

The park also offers extra fun for children and the young at heart, who can test their skills on seesaws, swings, a bouncy cushion, and a jungle trail.

For the creative or energetic, there is also the opportunity to play giant chess, skittles, try the “the floor is lava” obstacle course, visit the knight's castle, or even create your very own sand sculpture in the giant sandpit.

The Flower Park

The sculpture park is a green oasis filled with colourful flowers, beautiful flowerbeds, shrubs, and trees.

In 2015, Skulpturparken underwent a significant transformation – evolving from a venue for sand sculptures into a holistic experiential and art park. The focus turned towards creating a vibrant, aesthetic, and sensory environment where nature and art go hand in hand.

Since then, the park has grown and become even more lush. The trees have gained height, new flowers and plants have arrived, and the many flowerbeds change their character year by year. Today, the 20,000 m² park unfolds as an artistic landscape with sensory gardens, blossoming perennials, sculptural artworks, pergolas, and charming garden corners.

Each year, the park's creative gardeners add new colours, shapes, and details that make Skulpturparken Blokhus a living work of art that transforms with the seasons.
