Events

Something new happens in Wellcome Collection every week. Events vary from intimate discussions about issues such as adolescent depression, to provocative debates about obesity and live shows from leading British performance artists.

Most events are free and take place in our dedicated events space, the Forum, on the first floor. Look out for occasional large-scale thematic events that make the most of the whole building. To book for events please follow the more information links below or call 020 7611 2222.

We also run a programme of drop-in tours.
