Late View: Tricks and Trades

29 June 2012

6-10pm

We will be opening our doors for an evening of entertainment inspired by our exhibition 'Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker', where the past meets the present.

Try a specially-designed cocktail from the pop-up bar and listen to your favourite pop tunes played in classical style by the (fully costumed!)  London Ensemble string quartet.

Artist Stella Harding will be helping us make contemporary jewellery using traditional basket-weaving techniques. There will also be a 'wandering installation' piece which everyone can contribute to.

Fan-dancer Sachi Latina from the London Academy of Burlesque will be giving us a thrill in the Amphitheatre (and teaching us a few moves), and twice winner of Close Up Magician of the Year Simon Evans will be roving around with some amazing card tricks... You can then pop into the exhibition to see historic examples of fans and playing cards - we're sure their makers would approve of their modern uses...

All events are free
Entry to the exhibition is charged at the usual rate.
