Join us for an afternoon of music, workshops and celebration, marking the opening of our new exhibition by Dominican artist Hulda Guzmán.
Celebrate the opening of our new exhibition Please awake – asked Nature kindly with an afternoon and evening of music, creativity, food, and drinks.
The Sunley Gallery bar will be serving up refreshing, nature-inspired botanical cocktails and mocktails for the night, set against the striking David Hockney window installation.
Experiment with nature and sound in Rosie Carr’s Nature Loops workshop in the Foyle Rooms (capacity limited), or take a moment (or two) to sit back and experience the immersive soundscape.
With The Adobros serving up delicious Filipino food at Louie On Sea, and DJs Ricky Cox and Dean Thatcher playing tunes on the terrace as the sun sets, we have your Saturday afternoon and evening celebrations covered.
