Social Media Mondays
To better facilitate those looking for the perfect shot or insta-moment, we offer a social media session every Monday. The capacity during this session is reduced to allow more space for modelling and capturing images. Plus, our usual photography policy is relaxed during this time to welcome those who would like to dress up or bring equipment such as ring lights and phone tripods.
First Sundays*
Join us for our monthly First Sunday and get all the benefits of our usual Painted Hall ticket for only £5.
Taking place on the first Sunday of each month, we will welcome visitors from Greenwich and beyond to discover our Baroque masterpiece, the Painted Hall. *First Sunday tickets cannot be converted to annual passes.
Family Day
Join us for a family take-over of the Painted Hall!
On the third Sunday of the month, we’ll be setting up activity stations throughout the hall to encourage every member of your family to get stuck in, play, create and learn together. So, whether you’re an artist in training, a construction maverick, history-lover or can never resist a costume, there’s plenty of fun to be had.
Alongside our activities inside the hall, we will be running free drop-in activities in additional spaces linked to the month’s theme. To kick start, we’ll be running free crafts in the Painted Hall Café. More information
