Morley Gallery private hire

Morley Gallery is available for private hire

An attractive, recently refurbished space on Westminster Bridge Road, Morley Gallery runs a regular exhibitions and events schedule, primarily catering to Morley College London’s staff, students and partners. However there are opportunities for private rental of the space both for art exhibitions and events.

To make a hire enquiry, please read the conditions below, and then apply via this link:


EXHIBITIONS

Every year there are a handful of available slots for private hire exhibitions, primarily in the Easter and Summer term breaks. These tend to be booked up well in advance, often at least a year. To learn about our current availability, email gallery@morleycollege.ac.uk.

Exhibition space can be booked at £300 a day with a minimum hire of three days, or £1,500 a week, installation and deinstallation inclusive. Standard opening hours are 12-5pm.

Prices may be open to negotiation in cases of educational or student enrichment benefit to the College.

Morley Gallery assigned hire slots based on a number of criteria, including fees, relevance to Morley courses and suitability for the Morley audience and exhibition spaces. We get many more requests than there are slots available, and reserve the right to politely decline bookings without explanation or appeal.
