Weekday
Thursday and Friday tend to be quieter days.
During the day: For those who value a quieter art fair environment, this is the optimum time to visit. It’s also a great time for those with mobility challenges and parents with babies to join us. Our food market is the ideal place to grab lunch before visiting the fair fully charged.
During the evening: Perfect for those looking to unwind after work with art, drinks, and dinner, whether you’re with friends, a partner, or on your own. The fair closes at 21:30 on Thursday and Friday but the fair’s restaurant and bar stay open until 22:30 on both days.
Want to treat your network to an exclusive experience: an inspiring tour to discover the highlights of the fair, followed by a reception with drinks and bites? Find out more about the possibilities.
Weekend
During the weekend, the fair tends to be busier.
Morning: Best for families with young kids and strollers, or anyone looking to kick-start their weekend with immersion in an art environment.
Afternoon: A fun way to spend a weekend afternoon. There’s a great atmosphere at Tour & Taxis, with the walls refreshed every morning with new work to explore.
