Community connect
Visit our Hayward Gallery exhibitions, for free
We’re proud to support local organisations that strengthen the cultural and social life here in Lambeth and Southwark.
And now, as part of this ongoing engagement work, you can now visit exhibitions at the Hayward Gallery for free when booking Community Connect tickets through your local organisation or community group.
Community Connect tickets offer you free entry to exhibitions at our Hayward Gallery, with the option of a short introduction or welcome from a member of our Hayward Gallery team.
These tickets are available for the first eight weeks of our exhibitions and can be booked for any time on any day of the week, so long as it’s within the gallery’s opening hours. The size of groups visiting Hayward Gallery for Community connect should not be larger than 30 people.
If you need more support during your visit you may be interested in joining one of our Relaxed Hours sessions.
