YSP is an exceptional place, with world-class sculpture, historic landscape and exciting wildlife. Most exceptional, however, are our supporters and visitors. Because of you, we are able to bring art from across the world and eminent home-grown talent to our beautiful corner of Yorkshire.
The Covid-19 global crisis is having a continued and unprecedented impact on charitable arts organisations across the country, and YSP is not immune to its effects.
As a charity and accredited museum, YSP earns the majority of its income from car parking, retail, catering and events. Our closure throughout our peak season, and continued restrictions on our opening, have meant that we have lost a significant amount of our income since lockdown began.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to sustain our YSP family during this crisis.
How you can help:
You can also help by liking and sharing our posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Comment and share the fabulous times you have had at YSP.
YSP continues to be a place for people to access nature and interact with art, the environment and the world around them. It is a place to walk, to learn, to be inspired, and to enjoy. We are determined to ensure that YSP is a strong presence post-Covid-19, and we believe that access to art and nature will be needed more than ever before to support the health and wellbeing of our friends and communities.
Keep safe, look after each other, and we hope to see you at YSP again soon.
