Thursday Late | Art and Identity

We’re open until 8.30pm one Thursday a month (apart from our changeover months of May and November), when you can take in our collection and exhibitions after hours. Enjoy talks and studio workshops, as well as free tours and drop in creative activities, plus live music in the courtyard from June to September. Pallant Café will be open serving a selection of food & drink and you can browse the Bookshop’s fabulous art books, prints and gifts.
