Learning at the Gallery

The ‘Secret Garden and Garden Safari’ is an extremely popular summer activity for children under 12.

Over the summer holidays, families can visit Wakefield Art Gallery, and can borrow a safari backpack filled with crayons, pencils, binoculars, and activity booklet. This activity encourages families to explore the sculptures in the gallery garden, and is a fun way to spend the day. Many families bring a picnic and spend the whole day at the gallery. 

It is hoped that the activity will continue at The Hepworth Wakefield, in the new garden.
