Although Tate St Ives is a national gallery, it is a relatively small venue. We take great care to manage the number of visitors at both our venues to ensure the best experience for everyone.

We are happy to take bookings for large parties, but we do ask that they split into groups of no more than 20 to allow access to other visitors – particularly at the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.

GUIDELINES FOR TOUR OPERATORS

Tour operators are not obliged to book ahead but should be aware that their clients will be charged individually on admission.
