About

For corporate entertaining, the Gallery can be transformed to accommodate a variety of events from a grand dinner, an intimate supper party, a stylish canape reception, or a key annual conference.

Each event can be complemented by a private view of a special exhibition or the permanent collection. Guests can enjoy your hospitality while paintings are brought to life through animated guided tours given by experts.

The Gallery's Events Team is dedicated to working with clients to ensure your high standards are met.
