Bowes Lates

Art and culture after hours…

Experience The Bowes Museum like never before at Bowes Lates.

Step inside after hours and explore the galleries in a new light, soaking up the museum’s unique atmosphere once the doors have closed to the public.

Special Events

Brush & Bubbles

Artist Betty Barnet Brown will introduce you to a selection of striking portraits in the Blue Picture Gallery, each featuring flamboyant hats, dramatic hairstyles and extraordinary headpieces, before guiding you to create a painting of your own…all helped along by a glass of something fizzy and a bite to eat.

DIY Designer Tees

Print your own t-shirt inspired by the Activism t-shirts in Vivienne Westwood: Rebel – Storyteller – Visionary, guided by designer Kelly Ewing.

Included in Admission

Discover hidden stories on a Spotlight Tour, or simply wander the galleries in a whole new light. Don’t miss your chance to see the iconic Silver Swan in motion. Dance the night away at the Silent Disco, then head into the Create Space to design and make in an artist-led workshop. Spoken word poet, Lizzie Lovejoy, will perform several times across the evening, culminating in a performance inspired by the event.

No visit to the museum is complete without a visit to Café Bowes, serving a delicious food and drinks throughout the evening. Book your table ahead of time by calling 01833 690606 or emailing events@thebowesmuseum.org.uk
