All visitors need to pre-book a ticket in advance, so that we can manage numbers onsite. This includes if you travel by car, cycle or on foot. Each person must have their ticket with them on arrival to gain entry to the park.

Please make sure the details on your booking are correct. All tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.

£6 per person. A ticket includes access to the open air galleries and YSP grounds, and includes parking. Parking machines will not be in use. Under 18s free.

We're offering concession tickets for carers and Max Card holders, please contact us on +44 (0)1924 832631.

This charge is based on our experience of average car occupancy and the average amount of time visitors spend at YSP, but we now need every person to contribute in order to survive.

YSP is a registered charity and has to generate 80% of its income. We have lost £4 in every £5 since March 2020 and need your support more than ever to get back on track and ensure our survival.

All visitors need to book in advance, so that we can manage numbers and adhere to NHS track and trace guidelines.

We have introduced a booking system to help us manage numbers on-site.

Please take a look at our new Visitor Guidelines and FAQs when planning your visit.
