Three reasons to become a Friend of the RA

1. Free, unlimited entry to the best exhibitions in London
We’re teeing up for a stellar year of art and architecture with household names including Pablo Picasso, Antony Gormley, Lucian Freud and Marina Abramović as well as the Summer Exhibition and Eco-Visionaries.
Enhance your experience of the RA with free, unlimited entry for you and a family member, plus after-hours access and exclusive previews.

2. Share the experience
As a Friend, you can bring a family member to all our exhibitions for free, every time you visit. In fact, why not bring the whole family?
In addition to your guest, members can bring up to four children under 16 years old into the full programme of exhibitions. What can we say, a Friends membership is meant to be shared.

3. Unwind in the members area
Your home away from home, the Keeper’s House is our dedicated space for our members.
Enjoy a light lunch in the Sir Hugh Casson Room or an ambient dinner in the Keeper’s House Restaurant, sample speciality cocktails in the Shenkman Bar or get some fresh air in the Keeper’s Garden – the perfect beginning, or end, to your visit.
Please note: the Keeper’s House (including the Academicians’ Room) is closed 18 August – 12 September for essential maintenance.

I do not think there is a more pleasurable or fulfilling thing to be than a Friend of the Royal Academy. I am passionate about the RA and think it stands for all the very best in British cultural life.
