To mark its 15th anniversary in 2026, Turner Contemporary is showing David Hockney's Sunley Window installation in the gallery's landmark sea-facing window, focused on light and the many ways its effects can be represented pictorially. It runs from 1 April to 1 November 2026, free entry with donations welcome, spanning almost the entire holiday-let season.
It sits alongside the gallery's wider anniversary programme and the Hulda Guzmán exhibition through summer, giving visitors more than one reason to make a trip and more than one weekend to plan around. For anyone letting nearby, a long-running free attraction like this is part of what keeps Margate bookings steady well outside the big festival dates.
