NEW exhibitions and family activities are on offer this season.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP), located just off the M1 near Wakefield, is welcoming visitors to enjoy 500 acres of parkland.
Visitors can explore more than 90 sculptures, including works by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, as well as eye-catching contemporary pieces.
Kevin Todd, interim director of Yorkshire Sculpture Park, said: “Easter is always a special time at YSP.
“The landscape comes to life with colour and wildlife, and families can enjoy discovering art together, both outdoors and in our galleries.
“Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning for a new adventure, there’s something here to inspire every generation.
“And with family and dog-friendly cafés, along with our award-winning gift shops, it’s an Easter day out that’s easy to plan and hard to beat.”
A highlight of the season includes Nicola Turner’s Time’s Scythe in The Chapel, whose work was recently featured in the Margot Robbie blockbuster Wuthering Heights. T
he Weston Gallery hosts Rise, a new exhibition by LR Vandy focusing on rope-based installations.
For wet weather days, the Underground Gallery features The Pull of Gravity by William Kentridge, which closes on April 19. Interactive activities for children and adults are available in The Studio.
Visitors also have a chance to experience Roger Hiorns’ Seizure – a crystallised council flat transformed with 75,000 litres of liquid copper sulphate – on display daily between 2.30pm and 3pm during the holiday period.
The park’s Little Wild Wood remains a popular spot for young explorers, offering space to climb, build dens, and play among the trees.
Admission starts at £9.50 for adults, with free entry for those aged 18 and under.
Parking is free and included as part of admission.
The Kitchen Café is offering a £5 children’s meal deal and a carvery lunch on Easter Sunday.
