Legacy and In Memory

In Memory

YSP has a special place in many peoples' hearts. Since 1977 we have seen individuals, friends and families create lasting memories here. Together we have taken first steps, enjoyed first dates, and hosted important celebrations. A donation to celebrate the memory of someone who shared these precious moments helps us keep the Park special for everyone.


Sometimes friends and family hold a collection at a funeral or memorial service to donate to charity in the memory of their loved one. If you would like to consider making a gift to YSP this way, any gift, whether large or small, will make a real difference.

You can donate in memory of your loved one online. Or donate via cheque made payable to Yorkshire Sculpture Park – please send it to:

Walk of Art

There are other ways to celebrate a life at YSP. Find out more about our Walk of Art 2 and Adopt a Tree schemes.

We carefully manage the estate’s biodiversity. Unfortunately, this means we can’t always fulfil individual requests for planting specific trees or flowers.

Legacy Gifts in Wills

Leaving a gift to YSP in your will is a wonderful way of helping our charitable work. To find out how your legacy gift could support YSP’s future, please contact us.

I see my bequest as a tangible way of saying 'thank you' for all the wonderful memories of the time I've spent there, and a means of helping to safeguard this very precious and special place.
