The Hepworth Wakefield Garden

The Hepworth Wakefield Garden, designed by internationally acclaimed landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith, is a beautifully landscaped garden free for all to enjoy.

As well as Stuart-Smith’s distinctive planting, there are outdoor sculptures by Sir Michael Craig-Martin and Barbara Hepworth. Two of Hepworth’s first public commissions have been reunited for the first time in 70 years in The Hepworth Wakefield Garden, as part of the Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life exhibition. With thanks to our installation partner, Mtec, and our insurance partner, Hiscox.

The Hepworth Wakefield Garden Café is also now open daily 11am – 3pm, serving take away hot and cold drinks, fresh cakes and snacks.
