SEATING AND AUDIO

There will be a selection of beanbags available on a first-come basis, but we suggest bringing your own picnic blankets to sit on. You’re welcome to bring folding chairs but please be aware of blocking the view of others.

Ticket-holders will be provided with headphones to enable you to hear the sound and control your own volume. It is not possible to hear the film without these.

Please see terms and conditions before booking.

VISITING THE MUSEUM

The museum is open from 9am to 5pm and entry to the galleries is free of charge so you are welcome to make a day of it and explore the galleries and garden as part of your visit. There’s a café, toilet and baby-changing facilities and lots to see and do, for all ages.

WEATHER

The screenings will be outdoors, with some limited shade provided, so we advise being prepared for all weather (raincoats, sunscreen and hats).

In the event of very wet weather, would look to make any final decisions two days prior, and may postpone any affected event.
