A night of free adults-only entertainment

Coming soon - Start the festive season early at this month’s Lates

Wednesday 25 November, 18.45-22.00 (free entry)

Celebrate all the cracking things about the yuletide period, a whole month before you eat your first sprout! This November, join us for an alternative to the usual seasonal shindigs and be a kid at Christmas again with the help of some big toys and even bigger festivities. Join in one of our giant party games, create a racy robotic gift and discover what toys were filling the Victorians’ stockings.

If that’s not enough, all your usual favourites from Punk Science to a very merry silent disco will be there to start the party period with a science-inspired big bang.

What happens at Lates?

Science Museum Lates is the exciting adults only event, held once a month, that invites you to experience the Science Museum after hours. So if you want an entertaining free night out, Lates is the place to be.

Lates provides the opportunity to explore the museum’s most popular exhibitions away from children. The museum is packed with over 50 interactive exhibits for you to get your hands on and each Lates has a varied programme of entertainment.

Did you come along to October’s sex-themed Lates? Upload your mug shots to our Flickr group or the Facebook event page, or let us know about any videos you've added online.

See what people are saying about Lates with our media partner Magic FM.
