This Christmas, the hall transforms into a glittering dance-floor, with three music channels featuring Christmas classics, R&B favourites and indie anthems – all set against the striking backdrop of the Connection and Identity exhibition by Peter Walker. This immersive installation invites us to contemplate what connects and distinguishes us, bringing a modern twist to this grand heritage space.

Slip on your headphones, grab a drink and dance the night away beneath this spectacular blend of art, history and festive cheer.

The bar will be open throughout the night, serving seasonal cocktails and alcohol-free options.

Please note

• This event is for adults aged 18 and over. A valid form of ID must be shown on arrival.
