If you’d like to visit our gallery as a group, our Visitor Assistant team can provide a short introduction to Spike Island including a brief history of our spaces, gallery orientation and a short introduction to our current exhibitions.  

This usually takes approximately 10–15 minutes, after which you can explore the exhibitions at your own pace whilst our Visitor Assistant team remain on hand to answer any questions. We recommend allowing 1–2 hours to fully explore the exhibitions. These introductions are best suited to a maximum 15 people per group – if your group exceeds this number, please let us know. 

Group Visits can be arranged between 1–5pm Wednesday to Sunday.  Please note our galleries and building close to the public at 5pm.
