The Turner Prize 2025 exhibition is free but you will need a ticket. You can book your free tickets on our website here.

You will have an entry time on your ticket – please arrive five minutes before the time on your ticket. If you arrive later than the time on your ticket we can’t guarantee entry.

At times we anticipate the exhibition will be busy – there may be a short queue to enter the gallery.

There will be a limited number of walk up tickets available each day for people who haven’t booked, but these aren’t guaranteed. Please book ahead to secure your ticket.

Some days, especially weekends, might be busier. If you would prefer a quieter visit we would suggest you visit Tuesday to Friday.
