Our Opening Hours
We are now operating our winter hours. We are open Wednesday to Sunday from 10 am. We are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, except for local school holidays. Please note changes to our opening hours below for January.
On Friday, 5 December, the venue will be busy, and our welcome areas will look different from usual due to a private event.
On weekdays during school term time, we regularly have education groups visiting. As a result, the centre can often feel busier and noisier than expected. Where possible, we recommend visiting after 1 pm, or alternatively at weekends for the best experience if you prefer the gallery floors to be quieter.
Summer hours (open every day from 10 am) will operate 1st April to 31st August 2026.
Opening hours are subject to change.
