In the 250th year since the birth of Britain's most famous artist JMW Turner, join poet Clare Wigzell in this walk through Kirkstall Abbey and its park. Turner was inspired by this stunning Leeds landmark and painted several pictures of the abbey during his lifetime. 

Look around the abbey in a mindful way on this guided walk, and hear a few poems to help you to appreciate colour and light in a new way, just like Turner himself. 

Please dress weather appropriately. 

Booking required.

Ticket price: Give What You Can - suggested amount £5.
