Thursday Late | The Art of Laughter

We’re open until 8.30pm one Thursday each month (except May and November), when you can enjoy our collection and exhibitions after hours, with talks and workshops, free tours and creative activities, and live courtyard music from June to September. Pallant Café is open serving food and drinks, and the Bookshop is open with art books, prints, and gifts.

Join us in February for an evening of creativity, comedy, and culture. Alongside a programme of workshops and tours, we’ll be joined by art historian and comedian Verity Babbs for her talk Art Laughs: Art History’s Funniest Bits  – a hilarious and insightful journey through the wildest stories in art history, from feuds and scandals to jaw-dropping masterpieces. (Talk tickets sold separately – BOOK HERE).

There will also be a Library show and tell session, a curator’s tour of William Nicholson, drop-in  life drawing with Wendy Barratt and a Studio drink and draw workshop (Drink and draw tickets sold separately – BOOK HERE).
