ADRIAN GRAY, the international pioneer of stone balancing art, known for his mind- bending sculptural feats of impossibility, is back for RHS Chelsea 2025. This year, the Devon- based, sculptor will be pushing the boundaries even further with a huge, first-of-its-kind three-boulder stone balance. The piece will be the most complex and audacious stone balance the sculptor has ever exhibited at the flower show. Three colossal six- tonne Cornish granite boulders will appear to defy the laws of physics and captivate spectators with their mesmerising presence at a four- metre height.
Of the planned RHS Chelsea Flower Show piece, Adrian Gray said: “I have often demonstrated small, three-stone balances at Chelsea, but have never shown a triple stone balance of this
BOND IT, the UK’s largest independent manufacturer of sealants, adhesives and building chemicals, has extended and enhanced its sponsorship of the Huddersfield Giants Super League rugby team. Following a recently signed

magnitude. This sculpture pushes the boundaries of my work further than ever, building on the methodology I use for smaller sculptures to create a new work on a massive scale. A seesaw formation will feature two huge boulders delicately balanced on a fine pivot point around a central boulder, creating a striking equilibrium.” The incredible sculpture will be
exhibited alongside ‘Crazy For You,’ another monumental balance of 3m tall and 1.6m wide, showcasing a similarly fine and improbable point of balance. Adrian will also be showing a number of beautiful, smaller sculptures, both for the garden and the home. All works on the stand will be for sale, with smaller pieces ranging from £300 to £5,000 in price. The monumental works are also for sale, price on application.
Bond It and the Giants spanning more than a decade.
The business first became a sponsor of the team in 2012 with its logo featuring on the back of players’ shirts. It then became the teams’ main partner with its logo moving to the front.
For the last two years, Bond It has been an associate sponsor with its logo appearing on players’ sleeves. Speaking of the company’s return as the Giants’ main sponsor, David Moore, CEO of the Bond It group, said: “We are delighted to once again be the main sponsors of the Huddersfield Giants.
“Not only does it underscore our commitment to the local community, which is home to many of our staff and suppliers, but it also ensures good exposure for the Bond It brand. Brian Blacker, Commercial Manager at the Huddersfield Giants, added: “We’d like to thank Bond It for their longstanding and unwavering support. The latest sponsorship deal builds on a successful partnership and will play a vital part in the club’s continued prosperity and success.
