As part of the Tate Modern’s 25th birthday celebrations back in May, the gallery announced that it would be extending its opening times on Fridays and Saturdays, welcoming visitors until 9pm twice a week for some evening art viewing. And to celebrate the first Friday of the new hours, the Tate’s Corner Bar is collaborating with King’s Cross-based community station Voices Radio for an evening of improv jazz and natural wine.
Guests stopping by for the late opening can enjoy a curated selection of wines from the Tate’s cellar alongside low-intervention picks from the Pour Choices Wine Fair while a roster of London jazz scene heavyweights including Myele Manzanza, Rio Kai, Mei Kerby and Poppy Daniels provide the soundtrack. There’ll also be vinyl DJ sets for Kit Lockey and boardgames to play for free between sets, and the bar stays open until 11pm, so there’ll be lenty of time to catch an exhibition and stop by for a nightcap.
