The Chapel is open every Tuesday afternoon between the hours of 1.30pm to 3.30pm in winter and 2.00pm to 4.00pm in summer. Guides are in attendance to help visitors at these times, and there are guided tours at every Tuesday, arranged particularly to attract visitors to the Dulwich Picture Gallery.
Also the Chapel is opened when the Gallery has its monthly third Thursday evening opening and on the preview nights for the special exhibitions. (6.30pm – 8.30pm)
The Chapel is open in conjunction with London Open Houses Weekend and London Open Squares Weekend when visitors on these occasions may hear organ recitals as well.
There are joint programmes with the Picture Gallery to support its educational objectives. A good example is Chapel Tales. Each tale is linked with the Christianity focus of the Religious Education curriculum in schools, and was framed for children aged 5 - 11. Classes of up to 30 children visit the chapel for a tour by Roberto Lagnado, who introduces the different parts and purposes of the chapel and then tells stories of some of the saints represented in the stained glass windows (in particular, Joseph and Daniel, in the balcony windows). The sessions include drawing on clipboards, both from items around the chapel (the wood carvings in particular) and from imagination.
It is also opened by arrangement for school tours and other such events.
The Chapel Vestry is available for
external use and currently there are:
Monthly Monday coffee morning for the residents of the Almshouses
Monthly Wednesday afternoon meetings of Dulwich Helpline
