Art, creativity and a drinks menu created for the occasion.

Amber Beverage UK supported the Private View opening of the National Portrait Gallery’s major autumn photography exhibition, Tim Walker’s Fairyland: Love and Legends.

Presented with Pandora, the exhibition opened to the public on Friday 9 October 2026 and runs until 7 February 2027. It brings together 250 specially created portraits by acclaimed British photographer Tim Walker, celebrating more than fifty years of queer activism, community and love.

For the Private View, Amber Beverage UK curated a menu spanning premium spirits, wine and a non-alcoholic serve. At its centre was a bespoke Pandora × ELIT Vodka cocktail created in celebration of the Gallery’s partnership with Pandora.

The collaboration placed the ABUK portfolio inside one of London’s leading cultural institutions for the opening of a landmark photography exhibition, connecting premium drinks with art, creativity and contemporary cultural conversation.
