Monday 29 September - Sunday 5 October

Our second annual Youth Festival is a weeklong series of free art-making activities, social experiences, events, and creative explorations by young people, for young people (ages 16-25). This year's festival is all about connections: connecting with each other, ourselves, our past, our present, and our future. Be creative! Be yourself!

  • We are committed to running accessible, inclusive events and activities and making our programme as welcoming as possible.
  • As part of the Youth Festival, young people ages 16 to 25 receive a 10% discount in the Gallery Shop across the week. Identification, including young adult leap card and/or student card, may be required.
