Pavilion Updates
Dulwich Pavilion: progress updates
Dulwich Picture Gallery will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the first visitors to the first public art gallery with a temporary Pavilion which will be open to the public in the Gallery grounds from 2 June 2017. The project has been made possible in partnership with the London Festival of Architecture and Almacantar. Please read below to find out where we are in the process:

Tuesday 25 April 2017: Planning permission approved by Southwark Council
Monday 15 May 2017: Premises licence application committee date. As part of the project, the Gallery has submitted an application to alter its premises licence. The current licence covers the sale of alcohol across the make-up of the site including outdoors until 23.30. Permission is required to extend the current license to cover the new structure. Permission to play live and background recorded music has also been applied for. The Gallery is sensitive to the concerns of local residents and will be working hard to mitigate any potential disturbance should licencing be granted.
