It may be the middle of Summer, but the team at Sir John Soane’s Museum are already looking forward to Autumn! They have a whole host of unique exhibitions and tours planned, the perfect accompaniment to any Dinner or Drinks Reception. 

All of the Autumnal excitement will begin with a Poetry Twilight Tour in September. 

This special tour will highlight rarely seen aspects of the houses, showcase ‘the poetry of architecture’ in Soane’s designs and feature the recitation of poems from across the centuries. 

Tickets are on sale now at https://shop.soane.org/products/twilight-tour-poetry-in-the-soane-friday-19-september.

Then, on 8 October, Egypt: Influencing British Design 1775 – 2025, will open to the public. This exhibition will explore the British fascination with all things Egyptian through Soane’s own collection. The exhibition will be accompanied by a new work by artist Sara Sallam, responding to the sarcophagus of the Pharaoh Seti I.

Egypt: Influencing British Design 1775 – 2025 is free to enter and will run from 8 October 2025 to 18 January 2026.

Curator-led Private Exhibition Tours are available to book now. Email events@soane.org.uk.

The excitement will continue throughout October, with Twilight Tour: Egypt Special. Inspired by the remarkable exhibition and the many relevant texts and artefacts within Soane’s collection, guests can expect to learn more about the Georgian fascination with Egypt.

Tickets will go on sale soon.

Finally, the Museum will close out the season with a special Halloween themed Soane Late on Friday 31 October!

Tickets will go on sale by the end of August.
