October Museum Late

21st October 2026

17:30–20:00

Step into the Old Operating Theatre Museum after hours for an evening of history, conversation and discovery.

Join us on Wednesday 21 October as the museum opens its doors for a special evening exploring London’s remarkable medical past in a more social, relaxed evening setting.

From 17:30, explore the museum’s historic collections and exhibitions after hours, before settling in for an engaging talk at 18:00. Throughout the evening, enjoy the atmosphere of our unique historic space, meet fellow visitors and discover more about the people, practices and stories behind the museum.

Our Apothecary Bar will also be open throughout the evening, offering the perfect place to grab a drink, chat and soak up the atmosphere.

Whether you’re fascinated by the history of medicine, looking for a different kind of night out in London, or simply curious to see one of the city’s most extraordinary hidden gems after dark, Museum Late offers a chance to experience the Old Operating Theatre Museum in a whole new way after dark!
