It was an incredibly special day, in a truly special placeIt was an incredibly special day, in a truly special place
We were incredibly excited to have our wedding among Hepworth's sculptures - not to mention the gallery's beautiful garden. Who needs sunshine in such stunning surroundings?! Our drinks reception was held in Gallery 5, surrounded by Hepworth artworks, and when the sky turned blue we leapt at the chance to have our photos taken along the bridge and down by the water. Carl and his team produced a magnificent bespoke dinner menu for us and the cafe made an excellent dancefloor! It was an incredibly special day, in a truly special place -- thank you.

Well worth a trip. Go for breakfast and sample the pastries as a bonus! Very elegant small museum. Very open and friendly staff and some great pastries in the cafe! The sculpture is beautiful, the displays give great insight into the workings of Barbers Hepworth and the gardens are delightful. The building is a design classic that completely changes your appreciation of the industrial surrounds. Well worth a trip. Go for breakfast and sample the pastries as a bonus!

It is a world class gallery!The beautiful modern architecture sits among red brick converted mills on the river surrounded by riverboats and trees. The site has been made even more stunning by wonderful planting in the grounds surrounding it. Of course Hepworth is an iconic sculptor. She works at different scales and brings out the essence of the materials she works with with consummate skill. The exhibition of ceramics took my breath away and the knowledgeable guide answered every question.

I don't think I've ever eaten so well at a weddingI don't think I've ever eaten so well at a wedding
Just wanted to recommend The Hepworth Wakefield (art gallery) as a great wedding venue for vegans. I was the photographer at today's wedding, everything on their wedding menu was veggie and there were a few vegan guests. The food was excellent and they also brought out individual canape platters for the vegan guests. As a wedding photographer I don't think I have ever eaten so well at a wedding. The food was interesting and very flavourful. Highly recommended! Just wanted to recommend The Hepworth Wakefield (art gallery) as a great wedding venue for vegans.

We couldn’t recommend it enough!We couldn’t recommend it enough!
We had our wedding ceremony at the Hepworth and it was fantastic. From the beginning, Alice was organised and incredibly helpful during the lead up to the day. On the day, all the staff members were professional and provided a 10/10 service. The canapés were delicious and the chef even designed bespoke canapé boards for any guests with allergies. For anyone wanting to get married somewhere a little bit different - we couldn’t recommend it enough!We had our wedding ceremony at the Hepworth and it was fantastic.
