About The Hepworth Wakefield
Our auditorium's floor-to-ceiling windows frame the River Calder perfectly - something we never tire of watching as boats drift past during meetings. At The Hepworth Wakefield, we've turned Sir David Chipperfield's architectural vision into working event spaces that make the most of these views. The auditorium fits 100 people theatre-style or 90 for dining, and we've equipped it with a large screen, projector and full audio-visual setup. The natural light changes throughout the day, creating different moods for morning conferences versus evening presentations. Our Learning Studios work brilliantly for smaller groups - each holds 50 people on its own, but we can open them up to accommodate 120 when you need more space for workshops or training days. Our Café transforms beautifully for private events. The riverside terrace and Tom Stuart-Smith's sculpture garden become part of your venue, with space for 80 guests cabaret-style or 70 for formal dining. We're fully licensed and our kitchen team sources ingredients locally, adjusting menus seasonally. The terrace works particularly well for summer networking events or drinks receptions. What makes events here different is having ten gallery spaces as your backdrop. Modern British art surrounds your guests, and we can arrange private tours between meeting sessions or as part of your event. The galleries have hosted everything from product launches (yes, we've had cars in the Learning Studios) to wedding ceremonies - we're licensed for civil partnerships too. Film crews and photographers regularly use our spaces - the combination of contemporary architecture and riverside setting offers something unique. Whether you're planning a conference, private party, wedding or photo shoot, we adapt our spaces to work with your ideas.
