Thursday Late | Winter Warmer

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. Pallant Café will be open serving a selection of food & drink and you can browse the Bookshop’s fabulous art books, prints and gifts.

This December, enjoy a festive Thursday Late surrounded by beautiful art. 

We’ll be joined by La Diva — the award-winning chamber choir from Bishop Luffa School — for an evening of heartwarming Christmas carols around our magnificent Bösendorfer grand piano. 

Please note: Due to room capacity the carol concert requires a separate ticket, which also includes access to the exhibitions and other Late activities (excluding the ticketed workshop). Booking is essential — book here.

Alongside the music, you can discover unique festive treasures in our Library Show and Tell, pick up a pencil at Drop-in Life Drawing in the galleries, and get creative (and a little merry) in our Drink and Draw Studio Workshop (tickets sold separately).  

Warm up with hot drinks and mince pies from Pallant Café (open until 8pm), and don’t miss the chance to pick up the perfect Christmas gift at Pallant Bookshop, open late for a little festive browsing.
