This interesting and spacious exhibition contains a variety of exhibits about the complex Roman Emperor Nero. It explains his history and doesn’t shy away from the bad stuff.

Due to the Coronavirus, this annual exhibition has moved online and is free. It has 48 contemporary portraits, and you can move around the exhibition and click on any of the pictures to get a closer look.
It is a good way to bring art to more people and you have an opportunity to vote for your favourite picture.

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not going on unnecessary trips.
I visited this exhibition for free using my gallery membership. The price for non-members is £20.
This focuses on Hockney’s drawings and sketches rather than his paintings. A few of the pieces in this exhibition were familiar to those who visited the recent Hockney exhibition at the Tate.

Tate Britain – Aubrey Beardsley
I visited this exhibition for free during weekend members opening before the gallery was open to the public. The normal entry fee for non-members is £16.
This exhibition looks at the sometimes surreal work and the short life of the victorian artist Aubrey Beardsley who died at 25, who he was inspired by and who he later inspired.

Everyone (including members) is advised to prebook a free timeslot ticket online before visiting the orchids to guarantee entry. These do not include entry to he gardens which is £18 for non-members (free for members).
You can still visit if you don’t have a ticket. They have 2 during areas pre-booked tickets get priority entry each half-hour. If there is still capacity, those without tickets are let in, on a seemingly one in one out system.
I had a prebooked ticket for 10.30. This is the earliest time slot available, but they let us in just after 10.20.
There a was a large variety of orchid variety and colours. A number of animal models hidden around the festival, and a large volcano model made up of orchids. They also had archways and columns covered in different orchids.
It was a beautiful festival with a lot to see, but due to the number of paths inside with no apparent order, it was easy to either see the same things twice or accidentally miss something.
It also started to get quite crowded very quickly, so visiting as soon as it opens is definitely recommended.

This annual travel show is open to the public and itbos reasonably easy to get free tickets using codes from companies or via a free leaflet.
It has a variety of stalls from travel companies, charities and shops.
If you are interested in getting freebies then this is an excellent exhibition to go to.
I managed to over a lot including over 25 reusable bags, 17 pens, 2 pads of post-it notes, 2 fridge magnets, 4 bags of jelly beans, 2 mints, 3 calendars, 2 scarves/wraps, 2 magazines, a sun hat, a wooden whistle, a lens cloth, scented wax and 2 stress balls.
