The Hepworth Wakefield Festive Market returns this weekend and next with over 75 independent artists, designers and makers. You’ll find stalls selling candles, cards, ceramics, flowers and plants, food and drink, homeware, jewellery, prints, stationery, textiles, vinyl and more—with the feel-good factor of supporting indie makers and small business owners at this time of year. Plus family activities, live music, street food—including Bundobust—and half-price entry to our new season of exhibition

Some of our gallery spaces are closed over the next few weeks while we install our new exhibitions - Playing with Fire: Edmund de Waal and Axel Salto, and Kira Freije: Unspeak the Chorus. Both exhibitions open on Saturday 22 November. Until then, exhibition entry is reduced to £6. FREE, as always, for Members, Wakefield District residents and under 18s. It’s the perfect opportunity to say hello to Barbara Hepworth's Sculpture with Colour (Oval Form) Pale Blue and Red. This masterpiece was saved
