About Wakefield

Known for

The Hepworth Wakefield (one of England's finest galleries, celebrating Barbara Hepworth), the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (one of the world's greatest), the Chantry Chapel (a bridge chapel, one of only four in England), and a West Yorkshire city of extraordinary sculptural significance

A little history

Barbara Hepworth — one of the 20th century's greatest sculptors — was born in Wakefield in 1903. The Hepworth Wakefield gallery, opened 2011, celebrates her life and work. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park at Bretton Hall is one of the world's greatest open-air sculpture collections. The Bridge Chapel of St Mary is one of only four surviving chantry chapels on bridges in England.

Local tip

The Hepworth Wakefield is free and genuinely outstanding. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park at Bretton is an extraordinary experience. The Bridge Chapel on Wakefield Bridge. The Cathedral Quarter for food.
