Please note:
The steps on the Oxley Bank route to Longside Gallery will be closed from the 15 February to 28 May 2010 to enable artist David Nash to create a site-specific work as part of his exhibition, opening at YSP on 29 May. The work will comprise a new set of steps made from charred wood and coal. There will be an alternative route available but as this is quite steep, visitors are advised to make their way to Longside via the Cascade Bridge route which is well sign-posted.
