Nocturne is an immersive after-hours experience that transforms the Gallery through live performance. Wander into a world of aerialists, dancers, theatrical characters and musicians. Watch the magic unfold around you before the evening builds toward its main show. 

Featuring artists from Hamilton Aerial Group and Spindle Collective, alongside Emma Whale, Sophie Bonifaz, Mayumi Lashbrook / Aeris Körper, Lor Lacambra, Liz Worth, Julia Garlisi, Priyanka Tope and Vanessa Ramirez, Nocturne brings together artists from across disciplines for a night that sparks the imagination. After the performance, stay late as DJ Savage Good takes over and turns the Pavilion into an after-party.
