Open every day during the Wakefield summer holidays, The Hepworth Wakefield is the perfect place to get creative as a family.
In the galleries and learning studios, families can drop-in to workshops to make their own art inspired by our exhibitions including still life painting and making sculptures from clay. The workshops happen every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday during the school holidays and are free with an exhibition ticket.
Every Monday, Friday and Saturday, look out for The Hepworth Wakefield’s Art Pod in the gallery spaces. Explore artworks together and return to the Art Pod to make, draw and create. Art Pod activities are developed for 2 to 12 year olds, however babies and toddlers are more than welcome to join in.
The Hepworth Wakefield Garden is a place for nature, people and art – and the perfect way to spend a sunny day during the school holidays. Families can take inspiration from the garden to build dens, experiment, draw and imagine in the open air during free Garden Play sessions, happening every day during the holidays. No need to book, just turn up and play. The Hepworth Wakefield Garden is open daily and free for everyone to visit. All family activities in the garden are free. Activities in the Clore learning studios and galleries are free with an exhibition ticket.
On Wednesday 7 August, The Hepworth Wakefield celebrates National Playday with lots of activities across the galleries, learning studios and garden. It’s the perfect opportunity to plan a full day at The Hepworth Wakefield and see its garden in full bloom – with plenty of space for picnics.
The Hepworth Wakefield Café serves food for children or families can bring a packed lunch to enjoy in our indoor picnic area. The Hepworth Wakefield is accessible, has baby changing facilities and plenty of room for buggies and pushchairs.
