The iconic poppies sculpture which wowed millions at the Tower of London is coming to West Yorkshire.

Wave, one part of the stunning war tribute, will be at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at West Bretton from early September as part of a UK tour.

Wave is from the installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, when 888,246 poppies were displayed around the Tower to remember every British death in the Great War.

It was created by artist Paul Cummins and installation designer Tom Piper.

Other parts of the work will be seen at Woodhorn Museum, Northumberland and at St George’s Hall, Liverpool.

Peter Murray, Executive Director, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, said: “We’re very pleased to help extend the life and impact of Wave by offering a completely different setting for the public to enjoy this iconic work.

“The sculpture will rise from Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s historic lake, surrounded by 500 acres of stunning Yorkshire countryside and woodland. The calmness and nature of the Park will offer visitors an ideal space for contemplation and reflection.”

The two poppy sculptures being presented across the UK, together totalling over 10,000 poppies, have been saved for the nation by the Backstage Trust and the Clore Duffield Foundation, and gifted to 14-18 NOW and Imperial War Museums.

A shuttle bus will be available to transport visitors directly to Lower Lake from YSP Centre and nearby accessible parking will be available for Blue Badge holders. A complementary events and learning programme will accompany the installation.
