VIRTUAL WALK | The Hidden History of London's Bridges, Part One: Tower Bridge to Blackfriars | Katie Wignall

Thursday 21 May 2026, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Thursday 21 May 2026, 7-8pm. £10
Join Katie Wignall on a virtual exploration for ARTscapades of the capital's river crossings. Since London was founded, people needed to traverse the Thames and the varied history of these bridges give us fascinating insight into the history of the city. Part One will focus within the bounds of the City of London, from the world famous Tower Bridge to the hidden delights of Blackfriars.

TALK | The Laughing Audience: Comedy in Painting | Desmond Shawe-Taylor

Tuesday 12 May 2026, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Tuesday 12 May 2026, 4-5pm. £10
Join Desmond Shawe-Taylor to explore the rich tradition of comic painting. Images and jokes go together - as cartoons demonstrate - yet we often miss the comedy in the Old Masters. The Dutch painters of the golden age are some of the funniest, but their work draws on comic painting from the previous century and in turn inspires a British tradition, dominated by the work of William Hogarth.
