The Weston

Emerging from the hillside on the eastern edge of YSP, The Weston is a beautiful, light-filled space for art, dining and shopping. We welcomed this award-winning addition to YSP’s indoor spaces in 2019. The building is at one with the historic landscape, complete with its natural interior and wild-flower roof.

The Weston is open Tuesday–Sunday. For the festive season, The Weston will also be open on Monday 23 and Monday 30 December. The gallery, restaurant and shop are free to enter without purchasing a ticket.

Free parking is available at the eastern entrance for anyone visiting The Weston Gallery, Restaurant or Shop. If you would also like to explore the rest of YSP's grounds and galleries, you will need to buy a YSP ticket
