What's on

The National Gallery is open until 9 pm every Friday night and our Lates programme includes a host of different activities.

Listen to fascinating talks, take part in workshops and see live performances throughout the night, or simply roam our galleries until late.

Experience the Gallery's collection in exciting new ways and spend your evening immersed in art.

Make your Lates even later

Why not start or end your night at one of our stunning bars and restaurants? In our Sainsbury Wing, you'll find the newly opened Bar Giorgio, serving drinks and aperitivo – and at the Getty Entrance, our celebrated brasserie and cocktail bar, Ochre Brasserie, is conveniently nestled next to London's best theatres and shops.

From Friday 6 March, Ochre will be open for dinner service until 9pm, with live music on the first Friday of every month, alongside a seasonal British menu, carefully selected wines and cocktails, creating a truly special atmosphere for all to enjoy. Advance booking is recommended.
