Grenfell by Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen's Grenfell opens at The Box on Saturday 24 October, running through to 24 January 2027. It's a 24-minute film installation, and you'll find it in the St Luke's church gallery. The Box is the 2026 Art Fund Museum of the Year, and they're showing this as part of a wider programme looking at home, housing and community.

Grenfell is McQueen's response to the fire that took place on 14 June 2017 at Grenfell Tower, in which 72 people died. He filmed the tower before it was covered with hoarding, and he's described his aim as creating a record so that it would not be forgotten. It first showed in 2023 at Serpentine in London's Kensington Gardens, following private viewings that prioritised bereaved families and survivors, and it's been on a national tour since spring 2025, coordinated by Tate.

Screenings run once an hour from 10am to 3pm, with the last one at 1pm on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Tickets are free and available via The Box's website, and you'll need to book in advance because latecomers can't be admitted. Since it's a 24-minute film, it's a relatively short visit, and the hourly slots mean you can fit it in whenever suits you best across the next few months.
