For the second May bank holiday, we decided to head to Yorkshire for the weekend. I've not spent that much time in the north, but this isn't actually very far north. Just past the Midlands really. Anyhow...
I was most obsessed with going to The Hepworth Wakefield and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, both part of the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle - which actually consists of 4 museums.
We hired an airbnb just outside of Wakefield and incidentally within another triangle, the rhubarb triangle. Cute airbnb, we even had our very own rabbit roaming the garden.
We ended up spending hours in the Hepworth, sheltering from a thunderstorm as we lost ourselves in JW Anderson's 'Disobedient Bodies' exhibition (beautifully curated). Continued onto the Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is huge, so many lovely pieces, so many we didn't get to see despite running around towards the end.
Oh, and whilst we were in Wakefield, I couldn't resist hunting down the plaque for The Cribs, a cherished band of mine.
Check out Martin Parr's photography of the Rhubarb Triangle here.
