Patrons

The idea of a magical, mysterious and beautiful Midnight Garden is made real at YSP - and you don't have to wait for the clock to chime to escape into its extraordinary time-out-of-mind landscape.
- Simon Armitage CBE, Poet Laureate and YSP Trustee
Enjoy a rewarding and unique relationship with YSP, and support our work by becoming a Patron today.
YSP Patrons are people who care deeply about the future of our world-renowned sculpture park. They support our mission of creating meaningful and enjoyable cultural experiences in a unique environment for everyone, no matter their background or life experience.
We need to raise c. £3 million annually to support our mission, delivering our creative and learning programmes, as well as maintaining our listed landscape – which includes 500 acres of parkland and 1,650 trees. As a registered charity and accredited museum, YSP relies on the support of individuals to do this.
It is increasingly difficult to raise these funds, making the support of our Patrons more important than ever. By supporting us through Patron membership or by joining the YSP Director’s Circle, which gives even further benefits, you are helping to secure the Park for future generations.
We would love to welcome you.
