Summer at YSP
Summer at YSP
Book your tickets to YSP this summer to discover William Kentridge's monumental sculptures on parade in YSP's historic landscape, and Lesley Barnes and Ross McAuley's colourful characters. In each gallery discover family activity sheets and handling materials to help entertain and inspire kids of all ages.
There are plenty of activities on offer to keep the kids occupied, like Little Wild Wood where they can burn off some energy as they play amongst the trees, and activity trails and tree discovery kits to help you explore. Visit The Studio in the Underground Gallery, a space for all – to create, connect and imagine inspired by The Pull of Gravityexhibition.
Catch up with friends over a delicious, locally sourced lunch in our cafés, with ice creams to help you cool down on sunny days. A special £5 lunch bag is available for kids. The Weston summer menu features fresh seasonal flavours, antipasti sharing boards, and refreshing cocktails—perfect for leisurely lunches in beautiful surroundings.
Kids always go FREE and parking is FREE too.
