About this event
We are delighted to be open for Open House Festival & Heritage Open Days 2026 on Sunday 13 & Sunday 20 September. Visit us to discover the beautiful interiors of William Waldorf Astor’s extraordinary neo-Tudor building. Our fun family trail will also be available to help little visitors explore the stories and find the characters carved into the buildings walls. Our binaural sound installation, Reflection, will be available for visitors to enjoy in the Great Hall throughout the day. Inspired by, and created site-specifically for, the Great Hall, the piece responds to the particular resonances, histories and effects of the different types of wood in the room. The piece runs for 15 minutes on a rolling basis. You can take a seat, or feel absolutely free to move around the Great Hall to explore. You are welcome to listen multiple times if you’d like to.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
