Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tate Britain free?
Yes — entry to the gallery is free with no need to book. Paid special exhibitions run separately.
Does it have late-night hours like Tate Modern?
No — Tate Britain runs the same 10:00-18:00 hours every day, unlike Tate Modern's Friday/Saturday late nights.
Is it closed for Christmas?
Unconfirmed — the official Tate pages checked didn't state a specific closure date. Check directly with Tate before assuming a Christmas closure.
Does a city pass save me money here?
No — since the gallery is already free, no pass can reduce the cost below free.
