Planning your visit

As Covid restrictions are lifted we want to make sure your visit is as safe and enjoyable as possible so some measures will continue: 

• Our staff will give visitors extra space and we encourage visitors to respect others’ space. 
• We support staff and visitors who would like to wear face coverings in the gallery, but this is optional. 
• We will monitor numbers to ensure the gallery does not become too crowded.
• We will maintain increased cleaning in public areas. 

If you do have symptoms of coronavirus or you have tested positive for Covid19, please do not visit the gallery. 

Opening hours:

• Find out about accessibility at the gallery.
• Our café is open, serving hot and cold refreshments. 
• Our shop is a great place to pick up a memento of your visit or a gift for someone special. 
• Find out more about our exhibitions and events.

An admission charge applies to our upcoming exhibition Liquid Light: Painting in Watercolours (19 March - 13 August 2022). Tickets are available to purchase them on the day (walks in welcome - no pre booking required). 

No ticket is needed if you are only visiting the free displays, shop or café (although a donation is welcome.) Our free displays are as follows:

• Northern Spirit
• Newcastle in Watercolour 
• 100 Years of Collecting 
• Chris Killip: The Last Ships
• New Perspectives: Outside In

If you are looking to make a school or college group booking please contact the learning team who will be able to discuss your visit requirements directly with you.
