Event details
We are arranging an informal yet informative tour of the fascinating range of sculptures on central campus, led by the University’s Arts and Culture Co-ordinator, Naome Glanville.
Included in this guided walk you will see works by renowned artists such as Dame Barbara Hepworth, Peter Randall-Page and Paul Mount, not to mention our ‘sculpture with a story’ – the Tiananmen Square figure. You will see artworks from the 1960s to the present day, including a piece by the Student Art Society with Ed Crumpton.
Refreshments will also be provided at no cost.
Tours will last for 1 hour 15 minutes and are wheelchair friendly. There will be some uphill walking and some walking on grass too, so please wear appropriate footwear and clothing for the weather.
Advance booking is essential as places are limited. Please select your preference for the tour you would most wish to attend.
