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.

      Recommendation - Silvano - Driving Instructor

      By cjchung · Posted

      I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all.

      Idle cricket musing

      By David Peckham · Posted

      You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.

      Idle cricket musing

      By Peckhamgatecrasher · Posted

      "PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word?" Alas no. Until it comes back to terrestial telly, I think it will always suffer from elitism(?).  Excepting The Guardian, cricket is barely mentioned in other press. I am fortunate in that my daughter has just added me to her subscription on NOW TV. It has been great to watch this test; it really could have gone either way, eariler in the day, which always makes it more exciting. The only bugbear is that I am a TMS afficianado, and they are about eight deliveries ahead of the tv! I thought Tongue was excellent in mopping up the tailenders, and Duckett was a delight to watch. Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant to see. I'm sure the Edgbaston crowd will have tremendous supporters for both sides. PS: I don't think Jofra will be back on the strength of one county wicket.
