You’re invited to rewrite the rules of glamour at a night made by and for young creatives aged 16-25.

Beaton was a fashion photographer, designer, and high-society insider – known for capturing everyone from Hollywood stars to royalty. He loved a party, often hosting surreal, costume-filled nights at his homes. His glamorous, rebellious world sets the tone for the evening. Join us for an exclusive after-hours takeover, created by young people working with the Gallery, in response to our exhibition Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World.

You’ll have free run of the Gallery, with immersive, one-night-only experiences inspired by the exhibition. Prizes for the best-dressed on the night, too, with our fashion scouts on the prowl in the queue. Please come dressed to impress if you want a shot at some merch!

Everything’s free, including entry to the exhibition. Tickets are limited, so snap one up soon!

Please note: this house party is a sober one.

Interested in chatting with the NPG LAB members that planned the event this evening? Spot them in the silver bows!

Who’s the VIP? Our very own roving Cecil Beaton – stop him for a polaroid as a little memento of your night.
