Relaxed Hours: Anish Kapoor @ Hayward Gallery, London

August 6 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Relaxed Hours: Anish Kapoor

Thu 23 Jul – Tue 22 Sep 2026

Experience our current Hayward Gallery exhibition, Anish Kapoor, in a more relaxed environment with access to additional support.

We welcome everyone to our exhibitions whenever our gallery is open, but we also recognise that some visitors may require a more relaxed approach to noise and movement in the space, or may welcome additional support to experience the exhibition fully.

Our Relaxed Hours are shaped around the needs of visitors with sensory processing differences, neurodivergent visitors or those living with neurological conditions, as well as early-year visitors, parents and carers.

During Relaxed Hours there is reduced capacity inside the galleries, spotlight talks and chill-out spaces.
