Good news, art lovers! One of London’s most exciting (and wallet-friendly!) art fairs returns next month — this time to the swoon-worthy setting of Hampstead Heath. And we’ve bagged you 2-for-1 tickets to its Summer Lates.
Hot on the heels of a knock-out show in Battersea, Affordable Art Fair pops up in north London, 7-11 May. Here you’ll find 1000s of artworks sourced from over 100 galleries across the UK and beyond, with prices starting at just £100.
The best bit? There’s no need for 9-to-5ers to wait till the weekend to discover it. Affordable Art Fair stays open till 9pm on Thursday 8 May and Friday 9 May! These adults-only evenings usually cost £18 per person, but our readers can get two for the price of one by booking via the link below.

Enjoy curated art displays, live DJs and drop-in collage workshops with a complimentary drink in hand, in between soaking up the rugged beauty of the Heath from its only rooftop bar, Treetop Terrace. After work drinks don’t get better than this…

Can’t make it during the week? Fancy introducing younger members of your brood to a world of incredible art? Visit during the weekend instead! There are Family Mornings on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May, where two adults and up to three children get entry for just £20. Claire Knill’s The Willow Tree — a large-scale, light-catching suspended sculpture inspired by the artist’s own childhood — is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, and you’ll be left with plenty of daylight hours to let the little ones loose on the heath.
