Schools, Colleges & Universities
The Hepworth Wakefield’s schools and colleges programme is designed to inspire young people, encourage their creativity and enhance their cultural capital. We offer FREE ENTRY to the gallery for all pre-booked learning groups.
We welcome schools, colleges and universities to the gallery to learn in a creative and inspiring environment, surrounded by world-class art.
You can bring your group to the gallery to explore, draw, think, discuss and create through teacher-led visits or artist-led workshops.
More info to help plan your visit is available below.
