Staff Arts Club
The Staff Arts Club is co-ordinated and funded by Imperial Health Charity and offers staff within the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust the opportunity to engage with London’s arts scene.

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, galleries have had to put a restriction on the number of guests allowed into any exhibition at one time and so require pre-booking to all exhibitions. Due to this, we now have a new system in place which still allows you to go to our fantastic partner museums for free, while also booking in advance. To receive our Free Exhibition Ticket Booking Guide which includes everything you need in order to book your tickets, please email [email protected] and we will send it to you via email.
