Introductory Lace Club
Hosted by London Lace Club
Twilight Lates has been lucky to host London Lace Club, a community group run by Amelia White and Lauren Watson since our inception as a gallery. Aiming to increase the visibility and accessibility of the endangered craft, Amelia and Lauren teach the foundational stitches of bobbin lace. Bobbin lacemaking originated in the 1500s and is formed through complex sequences of crossing and twisting. It has been and continues to be a fun, inclusive workshop for beginners with no prior lacemaking skills.
Poetry Evenings
Hosted by Wordspace
We regularly host poetry open mics and writing workshops, evenings that truly bring the gallery to life.
Artist Talks
To coincide with each exhibition at Twilight Contemporary, we have hosted artist talks which offers audiences the chance to hear directly from the artists about their work. These conversations often explore the wider context around the exhibition, drawing out connections between the artist’s practice and the work of other contemporary artists.
Mahjong
Hosted by Sparrow Garden Club
A wonderful game, that has brought countless players together in a spirit of joy and community within the gallery space.
Murder Mystery
Hosted by Hey Mum
A spooky Twilight Late hosted by two artist comedians- 'Your favourite dinner party game… hosted by your favourite fictional characters … being played by your favourite comedy night hosts… blood will be shed… lies will be told… deceit and conspiracies will be uncovered… we may emerge from the basement of Twilight Contemporary very different people to how we entered.'
Short Film Showcases & Screenings
Hosted by Steph Faucher & others

In a world growing crueler to trans femininity, we gathered in defiance, in beauty, in softness, in bravery. Art is for the spirit and we hosted a night for just that. Guided by the exhibition 'Hecate,' the Greek deity of portals. 🌐
