We’re deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen.
In 1982, The Queen opened the Barbican and visited on a number of occasions in the last 40 years. We remain very grateful for Her Majesty’s support. Our thoughts are with The Royal Family at this time💜
We want to try something this week...
While we're closed, we'd like to curate a weekly programme for you to dive (or dip) into. So if you find yourself in need of some inspiration - or distraction - we'll always have something for you to Read, Watch or Listen.
