A Day of Sunshine, Sculpture & Smiles – Our Trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Yesterday was one of those days that felt like sunshine on the inside as well as the outside.

With bright blue skies above and excitement in the air, we set off on our coach trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park—a place where art and nature hold hands and invite you to play. The journey down was full of chatter, playlist sing-alongs, and eager peeks out the windows as the countryside rolled by.

When we arrived, the park greeted us in all its green, summery glory. Birds chirped, bees buzzed, and the sculptures stood tall and curious, just waiting to be explored.

We kicked off the day with a joyful picnic, sharing sandwiches, sunshine, and stories. We scattered around the many picnic tables, laughter rippled, and someone even brought homemade flapjacks.

Then the real adventure began.

We split into small groups, each wandering off on their own path—some following maps, others simply following their curiosity. The beauty of the day was in the unexpected: bumping into friends between giant sculptures, pausing by the lake, comparing favourite pieces, and hearing someone call, “Look over here!”

One group was mesmerised by the towering pregnant lady.
Another stopped for a moment of calm under a willow tree.
And everywhere you looked—there were smiles.

Of course, no summer day out would be complete without an ice cream stop! We gathered at the café in the late afternoon to cool off with cones and giggles. Sticky fingers, happy hearts, and that unmistakable “this-is-a-perfect-day” feeling.

As 5pm rolled around, we met back at the coach—sun-kissed, slightly tired, but full of stories and sparkles from the day. The ride home to Morecambe was quieter (a few naps may have happened!), but our hearts were brimming with warmth.

Why We Love Days Like This

Because they remind us what really matters:
Connection. Adventure. Nature. Laughter.
Kindness shared like confetti.

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special—from the organisers and support staff, to the wonderful people who joined us and made the day sing.

Here’s to more days like this—where happiness is homemade and sprinkled across the grass like sunlight.
