We’re weeks into it now, and the UK like the rest of the world is still in the grips of the coronavirus lockdown.
Things are tough out there, but there’s a silver lining – the UK’s cultural output has moved online, and millions of us have been tuning in for theatre shows, live comedy and art exhibitions from our sofas.
Nightlife, too, has been making its way into people’s homes through virtual club nights, and people are finding ways of enjoying live music during testing times.
These are our top picks of the things to get up to online today – make sure to check out our main guide for things to keep yourself occupied with at home, too.
