Food and drink
Our outdoor spaces come into their own in the summer months. You can sip on a Sipsmith Summer Cup looking out onto the grand Main Courtyard, or 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 4.30pm.
In case of rain, we have a pop-up bar in the Summer Exhibition itself! And keep an eye on summer specials in the Keeper’s House Restaurant.
