Summer 2025 at YSP
Summer 2025 at YSP
For summer 2025 we have got you covered for creative and nourishing days out with friends and family. From Monday 21 July we are open 7 days a week for the duration of the holidays. We will be closed on Mondays again from 1 September.
There's lots to see and do whether it's hot and sunny or cool and wet. Two exciting indoor exhibitions by William Kentridge, and Lesley Barnes and Ross McAuley are open to discover, and we have a range of indoor and outdoor activities to keep kids of all ages entertained all summer long.
Perfect for little ones to burn off energy, visit Little Wild Wood and pick up activity trails and tree discovery kits to help you explore hidden corners of the grounds.
For indoor activites, visit The Studio in the Underground Gallery, a fantastic creative space for everyone to create, play and learn with props and materials inspired by The Pull of Gravity exhibition.
Catch up with friends over a delicious, locally sourced lunch in our cafés, with ice creams to help you cool down on warm days and a £5 lunch bag 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.
