Turner: Festive After Hours

27th November 2026

Turner Contemporary

Bring your party to Turner Contemporary this Christmas... Celebrate somewhere a little different

6pm - midnight

Gather your colleagues, friends or community for a special after-hours Christmas evening at Turner Contemporary, where art, seasonal dining, music and drinks come together against the backdrop of the sea.

Your evening begins with a welcome drink and exclusive after-hours access to Turner’s galleries, giving you the chance to explore the exhibitions at your own pace once the gallery has closed to the public. You will also have the opportunity to experience Sophie Calle’s exhibition, Something Missing, in a more intimate setting.

At 7pm, take your seats in the Foyle Rooms for a two-course seasonal dinner by Minno Kitchen, made with locally sourced produce. Dinner is followed by coffee and truffles, with a DJ providing the soundtrack as the evening continues.

Stay for drinks, music and dancing, with the bar open until midnight.
