The Ulster Museum in Belfast is hosting an adult only night this Thursday with everything from ukulele lessons to tattoo stations.
‘Keep Er Lit’ is an after hours event for over 18s with activities including life drawing, adult science shows, food stalls, bars and more.
You can get creative with NI Science Festival, watch adult science shows with Scientific Sue and try out an art in motion VR experience, or bring a light-coloured tote bag with you on the night to have a unique ‘keep ‘er lit’ artwork printed on it for free by Leo Boyd Prints.
An Ulster Museum spokesperson said: “Expect the unexpected at the Ulster Museum Late. Explore the Archaeology Neolithic Minecraft world and follow a Trad Trail with An Droichead.
“Learn to play the ukulele in under ten minutes with Vicondre Music, and learn all about archaeology - from prehistoric bushcraft to bead making.”
Art lovers can enjoy some hands on crafts and the galleries throughout the museum.
“Screen printing will run from 7-10pm and people are encouraged to bring your own tote or top to upcycle,” they added.
“We’ll also have life drawing for you to try. Local DJ Marion Hawkes will be setting the mood all evening, while you explore our art, nature and science galleries after hours - plus, get inked by our tattoo artists so you can carry your favourite museum pieces with you forever. After all, the museum belongs to you.”
There will also be BBQ & Pizza food stalls plus a bar for those wanting to head straight to the museum after work.
You can show up at any time at the Ulster Museum Late from 6pm-10pm on Thursday, August 22.
