Open House

Curious about what’s inside? The Schwarzman Centre doors are wide open and you are invited.

This free-entry festival weekend brings the building to life, celebrating the power and creativity of the humanities. 

Across the Centre, you’ll find pop up performances and events, including circus from Cocoa Butter Club, poetry and spoken word from Yomi Ṣode with special guests, physical theatre and dance from local company Justice in Motion, and much more. 

Enjoy your first taste of our programme with ZooNation’s vibrant excerpt of Alice in Wonderland’s The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party in the theatre, or the Scottish Ensemble in Rising Sound and Impulse: Music in Motion in the concert hall, all for free.  Saturday evening will see Artist Es Devlin and Composer Nico Muhly join forces for 360 Vessels – a choral installation created for this opening moment. 

Between events, make yourself at home, grab a drink or something to eat in the café, meet some of the academics and artists who work here, drop in to see the the Bate Collection’s musical instruments from the medieval period until the present day, and leave feeling inspired by the ideas and stories that shape our world. 

This is your invitation to explore. Come curious. Come early. Stay as long as you like.
