Tate is promoting a small-group twilight tour offering visitors the chance to explore Barbara Hepworth’s Studio and Garden as daylight fades. The event is presented as a rare opportunity to visit the artist’s studio and garden at sunset, but the available announcement does not give a date, start time, ticket price or booking deadline.
The tour appears in Tate’s events and visitor-news material alongside programmes at Tate St Ives. The newsletter places it under a section headed ‘More to Do at Tate St Ives’, while the event description itself refers only to Hepworth’s Studio and Garden and does not explicitly identify the venue by name.
The announcement does not provide further information about the tour’s format beyond its small-group structure and twilight setting. It also does not specify whether the experience includes a guide, talks about individual works, or access to particular areas of the studio and garden.
Tate’s published material identifies the site in accompanying image credits as the ‘Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden Bowness’. The supplied event copy, however, does not clarify whether that caption refers to the promoted tour location or to an image used in the newsletter, so the venue cannot be stated more precisely from the available information.
The tour is promoted in a newsletter whose main exhibition feature is ‘Aleksandra Kasuba: Shelters for the Senses’ at Tate St Ives, an exhibition running from 2 May to 4 October 2026. That separate exhibition is organised by Tate St Ives in collaboration with the Lithuanian National Museum of Art; it is not presented as part of the Hepworth tour.
No event date range is recorded in the announcement or the linked event information supplied for publication. Further details are directed through Tate’s event-booking material.
