Such a wonderful and thoughtful exhibition. We spent Saturday afternoon wondering around this very inspiring show and really enjoyed it. The gallery were very careful to make sure that people moved in an orderly way and social distancing was maintained. After such a long time away from central London it was good to get some culture.

Went to see the Among the Trees exhibition. The space was amazing and well presented, with beautiful artwork and inspiring moments. I only wish the cards for each of the artwork were a bit more spaced out since people tended to group around them a lot (which could be worrying during Covid)
A wonderful exhibition all about trees (Among the trees) with a great range of photos, painting and drawing and sculpture, and story telling too.
Great range of books all about nature in the exit through the gift shop.
My favourite modern art installation gallery in London. Always a pleasure to attend. Great layout, awesome combination of artist and very thought provoking.
I visited the among the trees exhibition and it was malicious and calming, smoothing background music and wonderful artwork pieces!
Exhibition wasn't too crowded as they have a system, social distancing signs and wear a mask sign is in place unless you're exempt and have a badge then you won't need to wear one . A very organised system during the pandemic in the Hayward Gallery.
Wonderful! The restoration of this beautiful modern gallery was worth the wait. Large versatile rooms which give the art and the viewer space to look and be appreciated. Natural light floods the upper galleries. There is a new cafe and shop and a knowledgeable team of hosts working there. It's riverside setting and proximity to all that the Southbank Centre offers makes it a great gallery to visit.
Inspiring works from different artists on trees was a very awakening experience.
Among the Trees is a brilliant exhibition focusing individual pieces rather than the bigger environmental issue. It's a slightly subtler way of getting the message across but perhaps underplays the scale of the crisis. Having said that, the works on display are beautiful and evocative. Well worth a visit.
My first visit here! Wasn't disappointed. Went to see 'Among theTrees' exhibition just before it finished!.....was amazing!
All the staff here were so friendly and helpful.
How they managed to get some of the exhibits inside, is a mystery!
