The Tetley Weekender is our annual micro-festival that takes its inspiration from our new exhibition, with activities for all the family, artist-led performances, events and talks, plus great food and drink. It’s a perfect introduction to everything we do at The Tetley!
The Experiments Workshop will form the centrepiece of the Material Environments exhibition and this year’s Weekender. As part of this we are excited to have four artists from the exhibition with us over the weekend, leading a range of amazing events!
19 & 20 May, FREE, all welcome!
