About

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is an international sculpture park set in a picturesque landscape in the heart of Yorkshire, between Wakefield, Leeds and Sheffield. With 500 acres of historic parkland, woods and lakes to explore, over 100 outdoor sculptures, four indoor galleries, delicious food and drink and award-winning shops, there is an abundance of inspiration and experiences to be enjoyed.

Come rain or shine, YSP is the perfect place to engage with art and nature, experience something new and improve your wellbeing. Outdoors you will find artworks by incredible international artists, including Daniel Arsham, Jaume Plensa, Kimsooja, Niki de Saint Phalle and Robert Indiana, as well as sculptures by Yorkshire’s finest Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. For YSP’s younger visitors, discover the Little Wild Wood, where children can play, create and imagine together in natural surroundings.

YSP's diverse artistic programme spans sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, craft and more. The four indoor galleries are the perfect place for quiet contemplation of thought-provoking exhibitions, with a fun and informative programme of creative activities and resources for all ages to enjoy.
