Museums at Night returns, reports LondonTown.com
Offering twilight tours, royal banquets and even some sleepovers, Museums at Night returns with more exclusive viewings and events. With museums, galleries and heritage sights all across the UK taking part, a number of London venues will be opening their doors after hours.
Venues taking part in this year's event include Hampton Court Palace, offering a hearty supper and the chance to sleep like a king; Museum of London, a collection of London's best comic improvisers create a late-night show inspired by mystery medieval objects; and Tate Modern, which will host a number of workshops, events and conversations.
The National Trust launches its London Project this weekend. This radical reworking of the 117-year-old charity aims to engage a younger audience with London's built heritage, history and outdoor spaces through a number of one-off events that span arts, culture and the urban green environment.
The project kicks off with a partnership with Chelsea Fringe, which runs throughout the summer, with further collaborators including The Art of Dining, The Last Tuesday Society and 200-year-old gamesmaker, Jaques.
There are two major exhibitions in London, including In Fine Style: The Art of Tudor and Stuart Fashion at The Queen's Gallery, which displays a number of paintings, jewellery items, garments and armour to explore 16th and 17th century royal fashions, proving that the fascination with royal fashion started long before Kate Middleton. While the British Library launches Propaganda: Power and Persuasion, a representation of propaganda in many forms, from its origin in ancient Greece up until the present day, and how it affects us every day.
Food lovers have a number of events to choose from across the weekend with Kitchen Party being at the forefront. Set across a three-story building, this giant party invites a number of London's best culinary entrepreneurs and chefs to host unique events and foodie experiences. While the RAW Artisan Wine Fair celebrates high quality, fine wine and top notch artisan food, and the Fabulous Feast in Battersea provides a day of food workshops, bake offs, food & beer pairing, and ice cream making.
Frock Me! returns this weekend to provide the perfect day's shopping for any vintage fashionistas and the Angel Flea Market sells up-cycled, recycled, retro and vintage art pieces, books, furniture, collectable and clothes.
