We stay open until 8.30pm once a month, inviting you to explore the collection and exhibitions after hours. Pallant Café will be open throughout the evening serving food and drinks, and the Pallant House Gallery Bookshop is stocked with art books, prints and gifts.
Join us in August when, alongside a programme of workshops and tours, we’ll be joined by art historian and comedian Verity Babbs, back by popular demand 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 is a separately ticketed event – book here).
There will also be a Library Behind the Scenes session, a guided tour of British Landscapes: A Sense of Place, drop-in creative activities in the gallery and a Studio drink and draw workshop (sold separately).
