Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Wakefield & Calderdale

Folkshire Pick

Five hundred acres of parkland with world-class sculpture in it.

Why go?

Moore and Hepworth outdoors in the landscape they came from, plus indoor galleries and a chapel used for exhibitions. You walk a country estate and see serious art by accident.

Folkshire says

Allow longer than you think. It is a walk with sculpture, not a gallery with grass.

What not to miss

  • The Moore lakeside pieces
  • The Chapel
  • The Weston gallery

Good to know

  • Parking is charged; admission varies by exhibition.
  • Hilly in parts; accessible routes signed.
