Shaping Age: a Wellcome Collection Late

Created by Wellcome Collection

An evening inspired by ‘The Coming of Age’ exhibition, featuring performances, talks, workshops, music and tours.

Join us for an evening inspired by ‘The Coming of Age’ exhibition, featuring performances, talks, workshops, music and tours which challenge and subvert expectations of age and ageing.

Some events have limited spaces and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis. If an event reaches capacity, access will be managed on a one-in, one-out basis. You’ll need to book an additional ticket for the BSL-led tour of the exhibition.

Our exhibitions, café and shop will be open all evening. Join us in the café for a relaxed night of games and good company – with the option to browse and purchase from our shop. You’ll also be able to buy drinks and snacks from our café or pop-up bars.

You can use our Chill-Out Room if you need a space away from the action. It has low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats, ear defenders, earplugs and sensory toys.

British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters will be on hand for support. Please check individual event listings below for specific BSL and speech‑to‑text (STT) provision.

Book a ticket for the whole evening at the bottom of the page.
