The Hepworth Wakefield is an award-winning art gallery in the heart of Yorkshire, set within Wakefield’s historic waterfront overlooking the River Calder. Designed by the acclaimed David Chipperfield Architects, the gallery opened in May 2011.

The Hepworth Wakefield is home to Wakefield’s art collection – an impressive compendium of modern British art, including works by Ben Nicholson, L.S. Lowry, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore as well as work by significant contemporary artists such as Phyllida Barlow, Alvaro Barrington, Jadé Fadojutimi, Anthea Hamilton, Martin Parr and Eva Rothschild.
The Hepworth Wakefield Garden, designed by award-winning landscape architect, Tom Stuart-Smith, opened in Summer 2019 and is free for all visitors.
Entry to The Hepworth Wakefield is £12 / £10 / FREE for Members, Wakefield District residents and under 18s. Ticket includes entry to all gallery spaces on the day of visit.
