The Gallery in the Park

Art and nature combine at the Whitworth, inside and out

The Gallery in the Park

In 2015 the gallery underwent a major redevelopment doubling its size and fully integrating it into the park we call home. An art garden designed by Sarah Price, a sculpture terrace and an orchard garden, alongside our spaces that embrace the park, such as our landscape gallery-project space, Clore Garden Studio and the café in the trees, all reflect this beautiful setting.

Our relationship to the great outdoors isn't limited to plants and gardens. At the Whitworth, we take the inside out via a programme of free events that explore art and nature, with activities such as Welly Walks, messy play sessions (inspired by the natural world) and self-guided trails around the park. Bringing art, nature and people together through a programme of year-round, outdoor activities – for adults and families, and for health and wellbeing.
