In response to the lifting of restrictions, the gallery will reopen on Friday 11 June with an extension of the exhibitions Retreat by James Grant and Greedy Pixiu by William Eicholtz. The theatre will reopen on Wednesday 16 June with the return season of RUNT.
COVID safe practices and restrictions apply, of course. We look forward to seeing you at the venue soon.
