Important information for groups visiting the Royal Academy

Please note the John Madejski Fine Rooms must be clear by midday to prepare for opening to the public. Latecomers may experience a shorter talk and refunds will not be granted.
Pre-booked tickets will be posted out and should be handed in at the entrance to the exhibition. Additional tickets can be purchased at the Ticket Office.
On arrival the group representative should collect gallery guides from the Information Desk.
Re-admission to exhibitions is not officially permitted but will be considered at the discretion of the gallery staff. If a ticket holder has to go out for some reason they should speak to a member of gallery staff at the entrance to the exhibition.
The Royal Academy is open until 10pm on Fridays. Last entrance to the galleries is at 9.30pm. Payments for group tickets for late-night viewing must be made in advance
Audio guides are available for all exhibitions (apart from the Summer Exhibition). They can be purchased at a reduced rate of £2.50 per person when booked in advance for groups of 10 or more and are sometimes included in the ticket price. Audio guides are in English and last approximately one hour.
