Visit YSP this May half term
Plan a visit to YSP this May half term, to spend time with friends and family soaking up art and nature.
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. Although the Underground Gallery is closed as we install our 2025 headline exhibition, Laura Ellen Bacon's sensory willow installation awaits you in The Chapel, and discover Felicity Aylieff's enormous ceramic sculptures at The Weston. Pick up family activities in the galleries to help you explore.
Delicious food and drink is available from our cafés, with ice creams to help you cool down on sunny days. A special £5 lunch bag is available, and on Sundays bring family and friends to enjoy a delicious carvery lunch.
Kids always go free and parking is free too.
