We're open until 9pm on Fridays, so you can enjoy the collection and our exhibitions while they're open late, and special events in January and February:

21 January
Start your evening early with Tom Lovelace's performance, 'Bathers', inspired by Seurat's famous painting 'Bathers at Asnières', taking place across the afternoon. Then hear Lovelace discuss his work in an 'Unexpected view' at 6.30pm. 

You can also join in with creating a huge floor-based gestural drawing at our drop-in session, and go on guided tours of the collection. 

18 February
Hear acclaimed actor and writer Paterson Joseph discuss Gainsborough's portraits, as well as artist duo Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings talk about their work in an 'Unexpected view'.
