Food and drink
Sip a chilled beer or glass of wine in the Keeper’s House before or after exploring the exhibitions. If you’re looking for some fresh air, ask a member of staff to direct you to the hidden Keeper’s House Garden, designed by Tom Stuart-Smith and open to the public from 4pm.

RA Lates
Each exhibition has its own special one-off RA Late, where we transform the Academy and bring our exhibitions to life for an unforgettable Saturday night.
The eclectic programme of RA Lates has included a nine-metre inflatable cosmic installation, themed supper clubs, Klezmer dancing, Pollock-inspired paint splattering, gold-leaf makeovers, and cocktails with Peggy Guggenheim.
