TATE MODERN
The garden is for local residents (who live within walking distance of the gallery) to enjoy some quiet time, for children to explore wildlife and plants and for families to enjoy together. The garden is gated and situated on the grassed area in front of the gallery at the side that is nearest to the Globe Theatre.
We organise a range of different events throughout to year from planting days, volunteering opportunities to regular parents & children workshops. To find out more local residents are invited to become a Friend of the Garden by calling 020 7401 5176 or emailing community@tate.org.uk
