About Heritage Open Day: Bridges of Bretton
Celebrate Heritage Open Day with YSP's Heritage volunteers and Head of Estates, Mark Chesman, on a guided tour of the Bridges of Bretton, exploring their design, function, and place in Yorkshire Sculpture Park's heritage and ongoing care.
Visit several bridges within the historic park and gardens that made up the Bretton Estate which is now home to Yorkshire Sculpture Park with YSP's knowledgable heritage team. Learn more about how the bridges were constructed in the 1700s, the activities which took place on the lakes and how YSP cares for these historic landmarks.

Jaume Plensa: Wilsis
Wilsis appears to be deep in thought or dreaming. Her eyes are closed and she is inward-looking and self-contained, remote from the present moment and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Although monumental in size at over 7 metres high, this sculpture depicts a normal girl, rather than immortalising a traditionally extraordinary or powerful person. - Event
