All groups must pre-book their visit to the Ferens Art Gallery.
Self-directed visits do not feature any delivered element by members of our on-site team but are the perfect way for your group to visit our museum linked to your chosen theme or topic.
Want to stay on site for lunch?
There is a small charge of £1 per person for the use of our on-site Education Room. (Group leaders and support staff are free).
Your group will be invoiced for this after your visit.
Key information
- Ferens Art Gallery opens at 10am (Monday to Saturday) and 11am on Sundays - we are unable to allow entry into the building before this time
- We have allocated your visit as a full-day visit but you can state at the time of booking what time you estimate you will be arriving and departing
- Last entry into the building is 4pm (Monday to Saturday) and 3.30pm on Sunday.
- To ensure your group's enjoyment and that of other visitors, we ask that large groups stagger their entry into the building to help with general visitor flow - a maximum of 70 group members at a time.
- Our Studio space can accommodate a maximum of 70 group members plus group leaders/support staff. Large groups will be asked to stagger their lunches
