Friday Late

The original contemporary late night event. Friday Late at V&A South Kensington celebrates all aspects of contemporary visual culture and design in society, bringing audiences together with leading and emerging artists and designers through live performance, film, installation, debate, DJs and more.

Friday Late is free and drop-in.

Last Friday of every month (except January, May and December).

Next event: Rituals of Becoming – 26 June 2026

Rituals are portals to ancestral wisdom, collective resonance, and belonging. Drawing on diasporic memory, colonial histories, and contemporary culture, this Friday Late gathers artists reinventing what spirituality might become.
