The Hepworth Wakefield

Sensory garden has wide flat and smooth paths for easy wheelchair access and seating for rest stops. The plants are colourful, smell good and feel good too the garden was designed by Tom Stewart smith they had wide paths around the exhibition making to easy to navigate in a wheelchair. They had seating for rest stops in the gallery space

We visited the Hepworth today and were greeted on arrival. There was a one way system in place, lots of hand sanitiser stations in place and staff were wearing face coverings. Please be aware that the hand sanitiser stations are foot pump operated (like a bathroom bin). Screens were around the central desk. There is a large lift upstairs to the galleries. The art was really nice and interesting. There was a temporary exhibition that was free to enter for Wakefield residents but only £3 to others. Well recommended to visit. We have been before many times and have had no issues with my girlfriend’s wheelchair requirements.

Beautiful modern gallery which is very easy to enjoy from a wheelchair
