From 9am to 4pm on Sunday 7th August visitors of all ages are invited to come and explore the iconic venue in a completely new – and free – way.

Highlights of the day will include SCRUM – a dynamic outdoor dance show by Avant Garde Dance Company – an electrifying 35-minute hip-hop dance theatre performance for all ages, that will take place outside at 12noon and 3pm, and backstage sneak peeks, when visitors will have exclusive access behind the scenes from 9am-1pm.

Activities also include Bollywood dance and hula-hooping workshops, gin masterclasses and cupcake decorating, a relaxed gallery hour and family gallery tours, the premiere of a new virtual reality dance experience – and much more!

Some events need to be pre-booked, but many are drop-in and completely free on the day.
