Known for their bold designs, Blossom Concepts fuse rich colours, intricate craftsmanship, and botanical elements to create show-stopping costumes that embody creativity, cultural pride, and pure joy.
My Body is a Sundial with Bryony Ella
Join artist Bryony Ella and the Melting Metropolis research and community team for an evening of talks and creative activities. Explore themes of heat, climate change and urban living through conversations with Bryony and historian Dr Kara Murphy Schlichting, discovering how historical research shaped the installation.

Friday 4 September
Learning Workshop: Craft-Your-Own Tarot Card
Explore the history of tarot cards dating back to the oldest surviving set – the 15 decks of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot, painted in the mid-15th century – and then practise your printmaking techniques to design your own tarot deck. This session will be led by Marianna Zoumpliou, a linocut artist inspired by magic and folklore.
Readings by Tarot Booth Collective
Have your tarot read by Tarot Booth Collective, who offer accessible, heart-centred and intuitive short tarot readings for anyone looking for some clarity or a different insight. Come sit at their table on Friday 4 September and commune with the cards. A Lates ticket does not guarantee you a reading – they are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
We recommend booking your Lates tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
Lates: The Sun and The Moon are supported by Cazenove Capital.
