Frieze London 2026: hours and tickets

Students pay £32 for a combined ticket. Children pay £10. Weekend visitors who want to go before 3 p.m. can buy first access for £59. The Royal Parks directs visitors to the Frieze website for booking. ArtRabbit does not give a total gallery count, so check the Frieze website for the full exhibitor list.
The free sculpture trail
Not every highlight needs a ticket. Frieze Sculpture 2026 is a free outdoor exhibition in the park. It runs from 16 September to 1 November. Eleven international artists take part, including Angel Otero, Conrad Shawcross, Tarini Sethi and Ivana Bašić.
The trail makes a good first stop. It lets walkers see large works in open air before deciding whether to pay for the fairs. The trail runs until 1 November, so there is time to visit after the fairs close.
How to plan your visit
Check ticket availability early for the preview days. Check the weather, because the sculpture trail is outdoors. Allow half a day for each fair if you want to look properly.
London’s autumn art season is already busy. Tate Britain recently opened a large show on the 1990s. Read our guide to The 90s: Art and Fashion at Tate Britain for another stop on the same trip.
