Dogs are very welcome as long as they are on leads and cleaned up afterwards!
Reviews of Thirsk Hall Sculpture Gardens
I think the overriding sentiment of visitors is one of appreciation for having such a garden in Thirsk.
Comments reflect how it is fairly new in development, not overly formal, suitable for young children and how friendly and knowledgeable the staff are.
” Lovely peaceful setting hidden in the centre of Thirsk. Good walking round on easy flat paths. Interesting sculptures and additional displays in outbuildings”
