As We Lay Dying 2026: Viewing Guide

Choose your day, then plan your visit

Saturday 26 September is the Exhibition Chapter, open from 13:00–19:00 across three rooms. Sunday 27 September is the Theatre Chapter: the film programme begins at 14:00, followed by live performance from 14:52. The two days are organised differently, so it is worth choosing your date first and then deciding what you would most like to see.

Exhibition day: three spaces to explore

  • May Scott Studio | Ground Floor: (Re)turning to the Green Room — sound, light and sculptural environment.
  • Palmer Room | 2nd Floor: Before the Gesture — bodies, costume, materials and structure.
  • Reading Room | 2nd Floor: In the Thin Place — workshops, VR, ritual, painting, moving image and live performance.

On the exhibition day, you can move between the three spaces at your own pace. If you would like to try the VR or workshops in Reading Room, check the day’s timings and participation arrangements when you arrive so you can plan the rest of your visit comfortably. Please follow the on-site guidance for touching artworks and taking part in activities.
