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.
This October, we’re delighted to be collaborating with the South Downs Poetry Festival for a concert and poetry promenade responding to the British Landscapes: A Sense of Place exhibition (the concert and promenade is a separately ticketed event – book here).
There will be a Library Behind the Scenes, a curator’s tour of our Collection, life drawing with award winning artist Wendy Barratt and a studio drink and draw workshop.
