From 7 July 2021, until further notice:

Wednesday: 1:00 – 6:00pm
Thursday: 1:00 – 6:00pm
Friday: 1:00 – 6:00pm

We will occasionally open outside these times for exhibition specific events, see here for details of our programme.

COVID-19

Due to the government’s decision to delay the easing of current restrictions and remain at Step 3 until 19 July, the following measures will be in place to keep staff and visitors safe:

• Visitors will be asked to check in via the NHS Test & Trace app or complete a Covid-19 Declaration Form
• Windows and doors will be open to ensure the gallery is well ventilated
• A maximum of 6 people at any given time will be permitted in the gallery, including staff members and interpreters, meaning you may have to queue outside whilst waiting to enter (chairs will be available for those that need them)
• Face coverings must be worn in the gallery at all times, unless you are exempt
• Visitors will be asked to observe social distancing whilst moving around the gallery
• The basement will be closed to visitors

Please help stop the spread and keep our staff and visitors safe by not visiting the gallery if you or anyone in your household/bubble has Covid-19 symptoms, has been told to self-isolate, or received a positive test within the last 14 days.
