Visit YSP this May half term

Visit YSP this May half term

We’re looking forward to welcoming you 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 and engaged, like our Sculpture and Nature Hunt, where you can seek out artworks in the landscape together while getting your steps in. Although the Underground Gallery is currently closed as we install our 2024 headline exhibition, Leilah Babiyre’s fabulous clan await you in The Chapel and Jonathan Baldock’s Touch Wood continues until July.

Delicious food and drink is available as always, across our outlets including a special Little Wild Wood menu for peckish kids.

Visit as many times as you like during opening hours until 29 September 2024 with a Spring/Summer Visitor Pass.

Kids always go free and parking is free too.
