Enhance your experience on the night by enjoying a special three-course meal at Townsend Restaurant, inspired by artist Emma Talbot’s The Age / L’Età, or dine at one of the recommended restaurants in the Brick Lane or Middlesex Street area. The area has a diverse dining offer with a great range of cuisines for you to enjoy.
Kick off your evening with a supper club-style foraging dinner inspired by artist Emma Talbot, set to a backdrop of stunning East London rooftop views. Townsend will use Emma’s recent time in Italy during the Max Mara Art Prize residency and the connection to nature that flows through her work as the basis for a one-off menu of locally-foraged produce and a selection of natural wines.
£39 per person includes three courses plus snacks.
For Nocturnal Creatures, the Townsend dining room at Whitechapel Gallery will transform into a bar, serving drinks and snacks to the sounds of live DJ sets from Agostino Quaranta and Touching Bass – providing the perfect spot to relax with friends and work out what part of the festival to see next.
The Arts Bar and Café at Artsadmin offers a vibrant, cultural setting on the edge of the City and East London for eating, drinking, meetings, socialising, networking and showcasing artists and art.
