Award winning art gallery with some excellent sculpture. Cafe is usually very busy though. The Sheila Hicks textile exhibition is outstanding. Cafe quieter than usual as we visited after 2pm.

Loved it. Someone one had a light bulb moment, providing paper, clipboard and pencils And especially the stencil to give the confidence to get started. We had SUCH a happy day. It was my birthday. Started with coffee and delicious cakes. Galleries so accessible, info, layout, drawers to explore. We loved the sculptures and observing how they had been created. Well done.

Overall very good, some interesting displays, but being a bit boring I preferred the traditional art to the modern stuff. If you are a Wakefield Council tax payer you can get in for free if you take your council tax bill or proof of address! 😀 Otherwise it is £12 each to get in and I regret to say that I would not pay that for it if I had to. They also have a good cafe there, but the service could have been a bit quicker.

A wonderful outing for sculpture fans (of course), and even those who aren't. The building itself is exciting and well appointed,and parking is easy. A perfect day out.

Beautiful setting and impressive building. Have to be honest, I didn't understand the art, but as a conference venue it was fabulous and great food. Gardens looked nice 👌
