Frieze Sculpture: it's the time of the year again when Regent’s Park is filled with incredible pieces of art. Paintings and sculptures on display with talks and performances being given throughout the exhibition for a more immersive experience.

Jack the Ripper Tour with ‘Ripper Vision’: what better way to spend time during the month of  Halloween, than by going on a tour of Whitechapel with ‘ripper vision’ to learn about and experience the harrowing tales of the victims of one of London’s most notorious serial killers, Jack the Ripper.

Style and Society: Dressing the Georgians: spend an afternoon exploring the style of the Georgians. A mix of prints, paintings, drawings, clothing, jewellery and accessories from this era, through all levels of society.
