About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Join us for one final evening to enjoy insightful architecture talks, curator led tours, plus live music and performances from our creative collaborators. 

Don’t miss your last chance to experience our historic headquarters before we temporarily close for refurbishment and reimagine our Public Programme beyond 66 Portland Place.  

The evening will feature two special performances from RIBA Honorary Fellow Rhael 'LionHeart' Cape alongside a unique collaboration with the Royal College of Art, reflecting on the history, its craftmanship, and the creative forces found within the building.  

Take home your own piece of RIBA history, with limited edition prints available to purchase at 50% off, or try your luck in our raffle for a chance to win prints from previous exhibitions and more.  

You can also book a special screening of Tokyo Ride, a visually immersive journey exploring the Japanese capital through the eyes of SANAA's Ryue Nishizawa, one of our Royal Gold Medal 2025 recipients.   

Full programme to follow.
