Dogs in Museums - 14 August 2026

doggy cinema

Experience the museum like never before with our much-loved dog-friendly cinema nights — a relaxed, feel-good evening designed for humans and their canine companions.

Ever watched a film in a museum… with your dog curled up beside you?

After a hugely successful launch, Dogs in Museums is now a regular quarterly event — giving you and your four-legged friend the chance to enjoy a unique movie night together inside our beautiful galleries.

For one special evening each quarter, we transform the museum into a cosy, dog-friendly cinema, complete with:

  • Comfortable seating, blankets and pillows

  • Treats for your canine companion

  •  A feel-good film on the big screen

  •  A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for well-behaved dogs

Doors open at 6:00pm, with the film starting at 6:30pm.

Whether you’re planning a different kind of date night, a catch-up with friends, or simply a treat for your pup, this is a cinema experience like no other.
