Diaries at the ready: in our brand new digital season, Inside Out, we’re bringing live music, comedy and literature events direct to you from our venues and beyond.
Don’t worry, we’re not going to wedge a 7,866-pipe organ through your letterbox or turn your hallway into a green room (though that would be pretty cool, wouldn’t it?), but we are giving you the best seat in the house – and you can even wear your pyjamas.
Lay out the red carpet and prepare the interval ice cream for Inside Out, our new series of streamed events, which brings the likes of Angela Davis, Dawn French and the London Philharmonic Orchestra into your home.
How do you install artworks (some of which are over six metres tall!) onto a Grade I-listed building? Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff and Curator: Site Design Cedar Lewisohn introduce our open-air exhibition in this video.
