Hello all,


Following some discussion on here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1361807,1382486#msg-1382486 regarding family visits to Dulwich Picture Gallery we have planned an open forum and we would like to invite you all to share your ideas with us here at the Gallery.


The open forum will be held from 1.15pm to 2.15pm on Tuesday 9th September in the Gallery?s Linbury Room. So come and enjoy some refreshments and talk to us about your experiences as a visitor to the Gallery and how we might improve your experience.


As a visitor to the open day we will offer you free entry to the Permanent Collection after the forum.


You may also be interested in our family event prior to the forum, ?Mini-Masterpieces?, running from 10.30am to 11.30am. Children aged six to eighteen months are encouraged to take part in interactive art sessions, followed by a child-friendly gallery visit. Please note that booking is required http://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/for-families/recurring-events/mini-masterpieces/


We look forward to seeing you and hearing your suggestions.

Have to say, that's exactly what I thought when I read this post. There's nothing worse than when a business responds to criticism with venom or disdain or threats. The dulwich picture gallery have listened to the criticisms and regardless of whether they are warranted or not, have decided to give an appropriate time and place to hear everyone's views. Hopefully those people who posted about their negative experiences will see this post and attend. Also, hopefully other business' can learn from the DPG's response.

Yes - fantastic response! Also, we've been living here for 3 years now and going to the gallery every now and then since my youngest was just 2 (eldest 3) and they have always been very friendly and welcoming to our children. Obviously just my experience!

Great response DPG. I have to say I've been to the gallery numerous times with my young son (who can be a bit of a handful) and the staff have always been lovely. However I have seen some people get quite irked when asked to keep their little ones from touching the art! This attitude I can never understand.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By beansprout · Posted

      Now a good curry…yummy… beats slaving over a hot stove, endless potatoes for roasties plus carrots and parsnip peeling..  Christmas pudding made with cream or brandy sauce. when one things about it, obscene the amount of food one consumes on the big day… and then the washing up…. Used to cook for 10 so do know what I am talking about…grant you, nice to have company and friendship but now reached the age when I am quite happy having a curry, wandering around in my PH’s all day and eating, watching, doing what I want when I want.. Think actually that Gail’s staff can’t say no not working… sacked I would think but equally catering for people who might be in Dulwich for the holidays and visiting and in an air b n b..  Put of interest, is this the only Gail’s opening? Or are they all opening? Plenty of other places open on the day… sure cafes in city are open…And of course, always MacDonalds..!!!

      When I managed a large staff group, and workers were needed for Christmas day, there was always a queue of people wanting a shift, for many reasons.  Where is the problem-why is it shameful?

      Until the licencing laws changed in the late eighties, pubs were only allowed to open Sunday hours on Christmas Day, so 12 'til 2, and the majority didn't open in the evening unless it was for a 'private party'. But that's another story. The landlord of my old local used to let everyone double or treble up at last orders so that you could avoid having to watch the Queen's Speech with your Nans at three o'clock. Dulwich Tandoori is open Christmas Day for those who don't fancy Gail's.  'Festive Flavours', apparently.
