The Pigott Theatre and Foyer
Our popular Lecture Theatre is back with a fresh aesthetic, fully accessible design, and for up to 322 guests in theatre-style seating. Featuring upgraded AV facilities and expert technicians, it is an excellent choice for presentations, conferences, film screenings, award ceremonies, and more. Just outside, a versatile foyer provides the ideal space for refreshment breaks, light lunches, and networking receptions.
Whitcomb Room
With a capacity for up to 80 guests, this versatile new space is ideal for events ranging from team away days and private business lunches to full-day board meetings. With convenient access to on-site catering, plus AV facilities including a projector, screen and PA system, the Whitcomb Room is designed to foster collaboration and productivity in an inspiring environment.
Yellow Bar
Gather your guests around the stunning centrepiece of this remarkable space: the Yellow Bar, set on the first floor of our newly refurbished Sainsbury Wing, offering sweeping views of Trafalgar Square. By day, it’s a sophisticated restaurant, but after the Gallery closes, it transforms into an exceptional after-hours event venue, accommodating up to 300 guests, the perfect place for drinks receptions and pre-dinner drinks before dining amongst our masterpieces.
Supporters' House
We are excited to introduce the Supporters’ House, a dedicated space for our valued Members to relax, socialise, and deepen their connection with the Gallery. Outside public opening hours, this space will be available for private hire, perfect for intimate gatherings, special occasions, and corporate entertaining for up to 100 people.
Conveniently located with private access from Trafalgar Square, and featuring its own restaurant, bar, private dining room, lounge, and event space, the new Supporters’ House offers an intimate private experience.
