Coronavirus Update

We are delighted to announce that we will be reopening our building on Wednesday 02 December. The Institute will be open Monday – Friday, 9.30am – 5pm.

There will continue to be a number of measures in place to ensure your safety including a one-way system, hand sanitiser stations and visitors will be asked to wear a face covering.

We are working hard to continue bringing cultural opportunities to the community through our new spring programme of courses, workshops and talks.

V Café will be open Wednesday – Friday, 9.30am – 5pm. Please note, as Surrey will be in Tier 2 of restrictions from Wednesday 02 December, only individuals from the same household or support bubble will be able to visit V Café together. If possible, we encourage you to book a table ahead of your visit.

The Institute’s Library & Archive will be open Tuesday – Friday, 10am – 2pm. Room hire will also be available Monday – Friday, 9.30am – 5pm.

In an effort to keep users safe, our Visits and Special Events will not take place for the foreseeable future.

We would like to thank you all for your support and understanding during this time. Our members, course attendees, volunteers and visitors to the building are, and always will be, at the heart of everything we do.
