Explore & draw stations
Tue - Sun, 10am - 5pm. FREE with an exhibition ticket.
Suitable for all ages, including adults
Look out for our Explore & Draw stations in the galleries. Borrow looking tools, handling objects and drawing materials to explore the galleries and create artworks.
There are two stations in the galleries for you to explore. Each station links to our temporary exhibitions or collection displays and contains activities, objects and books related to the artworks. Enjoy drawing in the galleries, look at the artworks in new ways, feel objects and materials connected to exhibitions, or sit and read together.
The stations are designed to be suitable for all ages, including adults, and are available every Tuesday – Sunday.
Exhibition entry is £12 / £10 / FREE for Members, Wakefield District residents and under 18s. Ticket includes entry to all our gallery spaces on the day of visit.
What families are saying…
“What an amazing resource to help make the art and sculptures accessible for children. My 2 year old loved the magnifying glasses, the clipboards and wooden materials.”
“I like how this place has lots of places to stop and try to create your own art” Edie, aged 9
“I think it’s a great way to interact and to express your creative side. It’s nice to sit down as a 22 year old and be childlike again.”
“Best art gallery ever! Lots of ways to interact and learn!”
“I think Barbara Hepworth has created wonderful pieces of art. She has inspired me to be an artist that never gives up.” Alex, age 10
