Henry Moore Studios & Gardens

Fantastic exhibition, beautiful art sculptures and tapestries. It's a wonderful day out visiting Henry Moore's home and get insights into how his wonderful mind worked and the thinking behind the shapes and formations of his sculptures from natural materials and the mastering of his skills honed over the years. There's a lovely glass house cafe and picnic areas if you want to bring your own food and drink. It's accessible but they're very large grounds so be prepared to walk or explore!

Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful space with beautiful gardens and art. The space is so vast that it never feels crowded. Getting there without a car was somewhat tricky but not hard - a train from London Liverpool Station to St. Margaret’s (less than an hour) and then an 18 min Uber ride (there is a bus but it involves a 30 min walk, which for those with limited mobility is difficult, especially as the road is one lane only with no sidewalk). The one thing that could improve is the cafe - it has a very limited selection of savory items, so bring your own food for a picnic.

I have wanted to visit for while & we decided to go on Bank Holiday Monday. We loved it. Henry Moore's giant sculptures were fantastic, to be able to get up close & personal was a highlight. Beautiful grounds. We will definitely be making another trip soon.

A beautiful and peaceful place to wonder around. Some amazing sculptures to get up close to set in very well kept grounds. We were last there many years ago and it now has a lovely reception centre with shop and cafe with seating inside and out. Great value for money as first entry then gives free access for a year. Our grandson enjoyed the freedom of running around the open spaces and exploring the structures.

A great way to see Henry Moore's sculptures in the settings they were intended for, and in the place where he lived and made them. This place is pretty unique in that it combines a good walk in beautiful countryside with world famous art - including the studios Moore created a lot of his work in. The house tour was extra but I would definitely recommend it, as you get to see the rooms pretty much exactly as they were when Moore was there, a wide variety of the artworks he collected, and you find out about his family life and how his business was run. If you get a ticket for the Gardens you can use it to get entry for a year, so it's great value if they put on exhibitions and there's new art to go and see.

Allow plenty of time. Use the materials they give you to follow the route and read about each sculpture. The house is well worth visiting but you need to buy a ticket early (it's another six pounds!) or you might not get in by the last timed tour. Cafe is okay, but plenty of space for a picnic (including a picnic table) at the front of the entrance. Entrance tickets are valid for a year.

Hidden gem, this is where Henry Moore lived and worked from 1940 until passing in 1986. Incredible bronze sculptures set in nature, a total of 70 acres of landscaped gardens and fields home to sheep. His workshops and many maquettes (small plaster models) are viewable, giving a real insight into one of the great sculptors in history. Check the tapestries in the Aisled Barn, absolutely divine work, and shout out to the two volunteers who gave such detailed information and insights into the man and his work. The cafe and reception building are modern and clean and it's a world class experience. Relaxing and inspiring

A visit here kept us entertained for hours. Take your time, better to relax in to it and enjoy the sculptures slowly in the peaceful surroundings, and there is no need to rush. The art is well spread out and the gardens on their own are worth a mention; traditional cottage gardens, lovely mature and well kept lawns. We took our own lunch and had it in the picnic area; there's plenty of space. The ticket let's us come back in the next year and we will be back.
