Welcome

Welcome to Museum Events at the University of St Andrews.

We organise events for a wide range of audiences throughout the year. The variety of our collections allows us to explore different themes, try different activities, and engage in many creative ways with our community and beyond.

All of our events are free unless otherwise stated. Make sure you book a spot if you are planning to come to a session.

Whether you are looking for creative inspiration, a relaxing space, family adventures, music performances, late opening get togethers or a heated debate, the exhibitions and events at the Museums have something for you.

We look forward to seeing you at the Wardlaw Museum or the Bell Pettigrew Museum!
