Van Gogh After Dark

RDS, Friday 16th January - Friday 20th March

Following strong demand and sold out sessions, the team behind Dream Point’s new ‘Van Gogh After Dark’ experience have announced a major extension due to interest, with Van Gogh themed Fridays now running weekly from January 16th through to March 20th.

The expansion sees Dream Point introducing a new all day Van Gogh Friday format, welcoming families and children during the day before transitioning into the adults only Dream Point After Dark experience each Friday evening.

From 10am to 5pm every Friday, Dream Point will operate as Dream Point Van Gogh, All Ages, allowing children and families to explore the venue’s immersive rooms while experiencing the acclaimed Van Gogh digital art content in the projection space. During daytime sessions, younger visitors will also enjoy a specially created child friendly documentary exploring the life of Vincent van Gogh, alongside themed colouring sheets inspired by his work.

From 5.30pm to 8pm, the venue will switch to Dream Point After Dark, an adults only evening experience that allows guests to explore Dream Point without daytime crowds before settling into the Van Gogh projection show in a relaxed, night time atmosphere. Evening sessions will feature an extended adult version of the Van Gogh documentary, reinforcing the experience as a true night out rather than a traditional exhibition visit.

The Van Gogh Fridays extension follows significant interest from parents hoping to experience the Van Gogh content with children, alongside continued demand for the original After Dark concept which launched over Christmas.
