When passing through Grewelthorpe or Masham, why not visit the award winning Himalayan Garden & Sculpture Park; home to over 70 striking contemporary sculptures showcased in a tranquil valley setting. The park covers 45 acres of stunningly beautiful woodland, gardens and an arboretum; enhanced by 3 lakes, and a number of features including a Himalayan Shelter, Pagoda, Summerhouse, decorative Bridges and a Contemplation Circle (consisting of five chairs carved from Giant Redwood). Widely considered to have the North’s largest collection of rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias, there are nearly 20,000 plants including some 1,400 rhododendron varieties, 250 azalea varieties and 150 different magnolias. A Log Cabin Tearoom serves a range of delicious food options, while a woodland playground provides entertainment for the children, and a well-stocked Nursery allows you the opportunity to take a memento of your day home.

The Arts Society is a leading arts education charity. We have a global network of local Societies which connects people to the arts and each other. Our 22 local Societies in the North East provide welcoming places to hear expert lecturers share their specialist knowledge about the arts. Through our volunteering activities, we help preserve and record our heritage for the future. Our support for art in the community gives many, particularly children and young people, exciting opportunities to get involved in creative arts activities. The belief that the arts have the potential to enrich peoples’ lives is at the heart of everything we do and we are delighted to support this new initiative in the Yorkshire Dales
