There are endless opportunities to spark curiosity and get creative on your visit to Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, with a daily programme of free, engaging experiences this May half-term.

From hands-on workshops and interactive sculpture trails to soft sculpting sessions and outdoor adventures, there are plenty of opportunities for you to explore Moore’s art in new and exciting ways. All of our school holiday activities are included in an annual ticket, which allows you and your family to return as often as you like during our open season.

We’re open Wednesday to Sunday and Bank Holidays, 11:00–17:00. Our 2025 visitor season runs until 2 November.
