WEST YORKSHIRE.- The Hepworth Wakefield, Yorkshire’s major new art gallery, has welcomed its 100,000th visitor – less than five weeks since it opened. This milestone has outstripped expectations with visitor numbers now looking to far exceed the first year target of 150,000. Husband and wife, Michael and Christine Slater from Thornes in Wakefield were the two lucky visitors who took the numbers past 100,000 when they entered the gallery at 2pm on Friday 24 June. Michael Slater said: “We just popped along to The Hepworth to have a quick look around. We had no idea we’d end up being the 100,000th visitor to the gallery. Having seen inside, I’d say to anyone who’s not been, come and have a look; it’s well worth a visit.” The couple have won a year’s membership to the gallery and a special Hepworth Wakefield goody bag, including artist materials kindly donated by Supplies Team Sol
