Really lovely day, brilliantly curated exhibition. Everything was displayed beautifully. Lovely gift shop. Only complaint was that the cafe had some very strange options and a very small menu, wouldn't really cater for the normal person.

A really great experience all round. We travelled from Herefordshire to visit. Blown away by the architecture, inside out. Wonderful exhibition spaces with great light, space and captured views. Fabulous exhibits to inspire, great garden's beautifully planted. Fabulous friendly staff. Great cafe with delicious food. Absolutely brilliant, a iced gem on the fabulous cake that is Yorkshire!

Huge gallery full of glorious beauty. The Hepworth is stunning, and the collection includes many fascinating pieces giving insight into her development and practice. When I visited there was a superb Sheila Hicks exhibition also. The scale of it was nearly overwhelming. I had to sit down and catch my breath many times.

An outstanding building with beautiful gardens set in an amazing landscape. The Hepworth is a stunning gallery space. I spent a few hours learning about Barbara Hepworth and appricating her soulful pieces. I had little idea of work but came away wanting to find out more. The other exhibitions were well presented and engaging.

Gallery, Cafe and Garden are all first class. It s worth a drive wherever you live in Yorkshire or if you live South grab an intercity to Wakefield. Lots of interesting restaurants options now emerging in Wakefield too so plenty to do for a day. And visit the Cathedral.
