Getting to Longside Gallery
There is no onsite parking at Longside Gallery except for Blue Badge holders. During exhibition times a free minibus shuttle service is in operation between YSP Centre and Longside Gallery.
Alternatively, Longside Gallery can be reached by following an attractive walking route (approx. 2km each way). Please note: the route follows an uneven path with uphill stretches and may not be suitable for some visitors.
Journey time: approximately 35 minutes each way.
Please note: The steps on the Oxley Bank route to Longside Gallery will be closed from the 15 February to 28 May 2010 to enable artist David Nash to create a site-specific work as part of his exhibition, opening at YSP on 29 May. The work will comprise a new set of steps made from charred wood and coal. There will be an alternative route available but as this is quite steep, visitors are advised to make their way to Longside via the Cascade Bridge route which is well sign-posted.
