NATIONAL GALLERY

An Evening at the National Gallery presents a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and after hours at one of the UK's most iconic venues. Set in the stunning Barry Rooms, a breath-taking domed ceiling, beautifully detailed marble pillars and an unrivaled British portrait collection will provide the perfect backdrop to what is sure to be a night to remember.

LIVE AUCTION

During the evening, you'll have the opportunity to bid in a live auction with some amazing lots up for grabs, hosted by antiques expert and Bargain Hunt frontman Charlie Ross - and you'll be supporting veterans and serving personnel with every bid!

PRIZE DRAW

As part of the evening, we’re running a prize draw with three great prizes on offer. We're giving away 4 tickets to see Hamilton in the West End, a week's stay in a beautiful Norfolk cottage, and tickets to see legendary DJ Sigala in concert. Tickets are just £5 and can be purchased when booking your entrance ticket, or on the night.

The draw is open to everyone - whether you're able to join us at the event or not - and the winners will be announced on the night.

PRIVATE TOUR

Treat yourself to a private tour of the National Gallery after hours, with an expert art historian. Tours will take place before the main event from 5:30pm, and include a welcome drink.
