Good to know

Is anything free?

Yes, British Wildlife Photography Awards, The Operating Theatre: 250 Years of Surgery in Hospitals, Drawn on the Western Front: Paul Sarrut and the Indian Army, Myth and Reality: Military Art in the Age of Queen Victoria and 1 more are free to attend. Some free events still need a ticket booked in advance; each listing says so.

What do tickets cost?

Paid events start from £2.50. Prices are taken from each organiser's own published list and shown on every event page, with the booking link.

What if it rains?

Exhibition: A dangerous calling - 500 years of William Tyndale's New Testament, Drawn on the Western Front: Paul Sarrut and the Indian Army and Myth and Reality: Military Art in the Age of Queen Victoria are indoors. Our rainy-day list has every place under a roof if the forecast turns.

How up to date is this?

The list refreshes every few minutes from the organisers' own published schedules. If an event is cancelled at short notice it may still show; the booking link on each listing goes to the organiser's live page.
