There are usually at least 60 sculptures in the landscape for you to see as well as special exhibitions and projects in the galleries and outdoors. Displays change throughout the year so call ahead if you plan to see something in particular.

We try to make YSP as accessible as possible. The nature of the site means that some terrain is not suitable for everyone. Scooters are available free of charge to those with mobility difficulties. Please book beforehand to ensure availability.

Ask YSP staff for further assistance or advice.

Plan your visit to last as long as you like

One hour
Visit the Gardens and galleries or see the Henry Moore collection in the Country Park.

Two hours
Visit the Underground Gallery, Gardens, Hillside and Driveside for flavour of YSP – suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Meander through the Lower Park and follow the walking route to Longside Gallery, return in the YSP Shuttle Bus (available during exhibition times only), departing every half hour between 10.55am and 2.12pm (winter), 3.25pm (summer).

Three hours
See a wide range of sculpture exploring most areas of the Park ­– ideal for families and visitors with mobility difficulties. Shorten or lengthen your visit by exploring the Country Park or by entering the Sculpture Trail.

Four hours
Explore the furthest reaches of the Estate and sculpture displays.

These are only suggested visits – feel free to explore the landscape and sculpture for as long as you like; there will always be something else to see next time. Times will vary depending on how fast you walk and how long you look at sculpture. Take care on uphill or muddy stretches.
