We’re a good few weeks in 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 with millions of us have been tuning in for these online events, as well as theatre shows, live comedy and art exhibitions from our sofas, there are plenty of ways to feel connected even in isolation.
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 these testing times.
These are our top picks of the things to get up to today – make sure to check out our main guide for things to keep yourself occupied with at home, too.
