The Gift Fair is taking place this weekend from Fri 5 – Sun 7 Dec.

  • To manage capacity, all visitors, including members and those who are not coming to the fair itself, are required to prebook

  • If you would like to visit The Gift Fair (visitors and members) tickets can be booked here, including gallery upgrades to see the exhibitions and grounds as well as the fair (members do not need to purchase upgrade)

Whilst the fair is on, our ground floor galleries, which includes our Naples, Northern European, Portraits and Miniatures, and The Women’s Library, as well as the Modern Masterpieces display, will be open for the fair only.
