Planning Your Visit

Accessibility
Accessible parking and accessible toilets are available onsite. A quiet space will be available in the stable block office. The outdoor grounds at Wysing are uneven and have varying surface textures, which may cause some difficulty for unaccompanied wheelchair users. 

Food and Drink
Grab some lunch from VG Coffee. On-site throughout the day. 

Parking
Free parking is available on-site.  

Photography
Be aware that photography will be taking place throughout the day. If you do not wish to be included, please let a member of staff know on the day.

Please join us on Saturday 5 July for a Celebration of Life for Terry Brooks (1951-2024), Wysing Arts Centre’s co-founder and longest-standing Trustee. The event will follow Wysing’s annual Open Studio event, which Terry loved to attend each year.

Terry’s contributions to Wysing were immeasurable, and his kind, supportive presence is deeply missed. This day will mark his life and celebrate his legacy. We welcome those who knew Terry and worked with him over the years – please share if you know someone who might like to come. 
 
The celebration will take place from 5-7pm in Wysing’s courtyard, after our Open Studio event. Food can be purchased from VG Coffee and we’ll be running an informal bar.  

You are invited to bring thoughts, memories or something else that you would like to share, quietly or out loud. This could be from your own experience, a short poem, a song - or any other tribute that feels meaningful to you.
