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.

    • Hello! I would be keen to hear from parents of secondary-school age in state schools of the cost of school trips overseas. Particularly interested in Kingsdale and Charter but all examples welcome. many thanks!
    • Or the government have it wrong. Certainly picking a fight with farmers, the very definition of working people, is probably not going to end well. The problem here is that Labour hung their hat on not taxing "working people" which was clearly the output of some awful focus group and clearly not the term they wanted to use. They failed to properly qualify what a working person is and it is now coming back to haunt them because the very definition of a working person is anyone who is, well, working and that covers a whole gamut of people and salaries. Don't pick a fight with farmers if you have stated you aren't going after working people because public opinion will be against you. Farmers are the backbone of any country and work so hard and yes, there are some that are incredibly well off but the majority are not and farming is a trade that gets handed down through the generations. And farmers will make their case very public in ways other groups won't.   Labour's communication has been awful but they got a free pass before the election because everyone was so focused on how awful the Tories were. But now they are in power and they are tripping themselves up because in leadership you need more than soundbites.   The "Son of a Toolmaker" is the type of thing that haunts politicians until the end of their career. Clearly someone decided to detach Keir from his grammar school, university (including Oxford), legal career, knight of the realm background. His face when everyone laughed when he mentioned it during one of the pre-election debates was a picture. He is the son of a toolmaker but you look a bit silly when people then say yes but your dad ran a tool-making company...   Coming into power on a ticket of "look how they have been behaving" and then behaving in many ways the Tories were has been a disaster for politicians of all parties. The clothing funding and access to no.10 was just a nightmare for them and in these days where today's newspaper is no longer tomorrow's chip paper the comments made about Trump (which I am sure most people can agree with) are just embarrassing.   Winter Fuel Tax has been a disaster. Yes, there are many pensioners who don't need it but those aren't going to be the ones talking to the media about how awful the winter is going to be and people only remember those shouting the loudest.   The budget was an interesting one. I was watching Theo Pathitis on TV and he had swung from the Tories to Labour ahead of the election and was talking about the impact of the Employer NI and you could tell that he was very carefully choosing his words as he knew how hard this was going to be on business and what the implications are but clearly didn't want to be left with egg on his face as he was telling everyone to vote Labour ahead of the election.   Labour are finding out, to their cost, that being in opposition is easy. Being in power is not.
