Yorkshire Sculpture Park

This 500 acre open-air art gallery is located within the grounds of the multi-facilitated Bretton Hall near Wakefield. Work by world renowned sculptors such as Rodin, Bourdelle, Anthony Caro, Elisabeth Frink, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth are on display as well as lesser-known but interesting younger sculptors. There are also two indoor galleries namely a ‘Bothy Gallery’ and a recently added underground gallery space.

The original Bretton Hall building also housed an educational set up which commenced in 1949. Primarily a teacher training college, it specialised in offering innovative courses in design, music and the visual and performance arts. Alumni include Richard O'Brien, Kay Mellor, Colin Welland, John Godber. In the summer of 2007 all departments closed and moved to Leeds University Campus.
