The Line is an ambitious public art project in East London that connects Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and The O2, following the waterways and the line of the Greenwich Meridian. Its outdoor exhibition programme offers a journey through a dynamic urban landscape where everyone can explore art, nature and heritage for free.
The design of the Serpentine Pavilion 2023 emerges from architect Lina Ghotmeh’s aspiration to develop our primal relationship with the Earth into a sustainable one. Inspired by Ghotmeh’s Mediterranean heritage and lively discussions around the table over current affairs, politics, personal lives, and dreams, the Pavilion is titled À table – a French call to sit together at the table to share a meal and enter into dialogue.

Situated in the 18th-century Bretton Hall estate in West Yorkshire, this leading international centre for modern and contemporary sculpture has over 100 sculptures and installation from some of the world’s leading artists. This summer they are hosting Curiosity & Wonder, a a packed programme of events and activities for all ages, exploring materials, the lifelong importance of play and engaging with the world around us in imaginative ways. Sparking moments of shared creativity, wonder and delight, there is something for everyone to enjoy, with free activities from a family rave, wax and clay sculpting, and live music to huge clouds of bubbles. The best part is that they are all fee with your admission ticket.
