Visit Longside Gallery, a stunning space offering extensive views of Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Longside Gallery was once an indoor riding arena. Now converted, its huge area and view makes it a unique exhibition space. Today, YSP and the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London, share Longside Gallery for an exciting programme of exhibitions. The Hayward uses Longside Gallery to present displays from the Arts Council Collection - the largest loan collection of modern and contemporary British art in the world - which it manages on behalf of Arts Council England
