FAQs

Our Pay What You Can ticketing lets you choose a ticket price that works best for you at each exhibition.

Different exhibitions have different age recommendations; some are curated specifically for a family audience while others are for young people and adults.

Please check individual exhibition pages before your visit. 

Unlike more traditional art galleries, exhibitions in Undershed often have time slots rather than free flowing entry. This means it’s good to arrive at the beginning of a time slot – so please check the individual exhibition page for these times.

While it will sometimes be possible to buy a ticket and walk in immediately – it’s always good to book in advance so you can make the most of the time you have with the ticket you buy.
