Wellcome Collection Lates: The Friendship Effect

Created by Wellcome Collection

Bring your friends along for a night celebrating the role of friendship in our health and wellbeing.

Friendship in all its formsโ€ฏcan improveโ€ฏour health and happiness. But what is a friend, and in an age of ideals, are our expectations becoming unrealistic?

Join us for the next in our series of Wellcome Collection Lates to explore and celebrate this most human bond, through playful conversations, live music, workshops, pop-up performances, talks and more.โ€ฏYou might even leave with a new friend or two.

Grab a cocktail or food from our cafรฉ or find a gift for a friend in our shop. Our exhibitions, pop-up bar, cafรฉ and shop will be open all evening.

For a break from the action, take advantage of our chill out space. This space has low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats and space to move around and be yourself.

A BSL interpreter will be on hand for support and orientation. Please check individual event listings below for specific BSL provisions.
