Walk for Parkinson's

People with Parkinson's need ongoing, specialised support. You can help to fund vital new specialist care experts like Parkinson's nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, pharmacists, and mental health professionals.

Walk with us and you can help us provide Parkinson's training to healthcare professionals. This means more people with Parkinson's, and those who love and care for them, can access the support they need.

Join us for a 1.1 or 6.1 mile walk around the beautiful Temple Newsam.

Open Archive: Roger Ackling

After artist Roger Ackling (1947–2014) died, his archive was gifted to the Archive of Sculptors' Papers, so it is now in Leeds Museums and Galleries' collection, housed at Henry Moore Institute.

Some of this rich collection is currently on display in the exhibition SUNLIGHT: Roger Ackling, on display at Henry Moore Institute until 22 June 2025.

As it's one of our largest collections, we can't fit everything we've got into the galleries, so instead we're giving you the opportunity to take a closer look and get hands-on with these fascinating materials.
