Award-winning cultural initiative Art of London is offering one lucky Marie Claire reader a luxurious evening for two in the West End to celebrate the return of its late-night arts and culture programme, Art After Dark.

Returning in October 2024, Art After Dark will unite world-class galleries in the cultural heart of the Capital to stay open after hours on 10th and 11th October. The winner will enjoy a spectacular evening featuring world-class exhibitions and dinner and drinks for two.

Begin at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts and discover its House membership with a Keeper’s House day pass, granting access to the exclusive Keeper’s House and highly coveted Academicians’ members’ room nestled in Mayfair. The pass includes entry to all RA exhibitions during Art After Dark, including their Michael Craig-Martin and Ukrainian Modernism shows. 

Next, marvel at Van Gogh’s masterpieces in a major exhibition at the National Gallery, featuring iconic works like ‘Starry Night’. Then, visit the National Portrait Gallery for a new exhibition of Francis Bacon’s works from the 1950s onwards.  

Round off the evening at Farzi London in Haymarket with a three-course set menu and welcome cocktails, savouring the unique flavours of modern Indian cuisine from intricately spiced curries to indulgent desserts. Finish the night with drinks at The Alchemist St Martin’s Lane, offering a selection of classic and imaginative cocktails.
