Join us after hours for our Late themed around our Frank Bowling: Seeking the Sublime display, in collaboration with Diasporas Now.
Experience live performance, music, dance, and participatory workshops responding to the vibrant abstraction of Frank Bowling, in a cross-diasporic celebration that moves beyond the canvas.
Diasporas Now’s takeover invites Global Majority artists and communities into collective mapping – transforming the museum into a meeting point within a wider movement toward collective knowledge-making and the shaping of culture and identity.
The Kettle’s Yard shop will be open for you to enjoy some evening shopping, and drinks and food will be available from the Garden Kitchen café. There will also be live music to enjoy throughout the evening.
There will be a chance to use our bat detectors, find out about what bats eat and where they live.
£7 per person (adults & children). Booking essential and will open in early August.
This walk is strictly for over 8’s and children must be accompanied at all times. When booking please be aware that each member of the group will need their own ticket.
This event is weather dependent.

Founded in 2010 by Louisa Denby, Vox Cantab is a flexible chamber choir consisting mainly of Cambridge University students and alumni, many of whom are current or former choral scholars. The choir undertake a variety of projects, aiming to present imaginative and high-quality performances of a wide range of music, often with a particular emphasis on bringing live music to individuals and communities who may not ordinarily be able to experience it.
We will be LIVE online via You Tube chatting with Professor Helen Roy all about ladybirds - what would you like to know? Why are ladybirds different colours? What do they eat? How long do they live? Get your questions ready as we will be answering them live on the night! Plus we'll be chatting about the Museum's ladybird collection - one of our most important & significant collections.
