How to explore the world of the Bayeux Tapestry - even if you canât get hold of tickets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thereâs no denying that the Bayeux Tapestry is the hot ticket of the season in London. Opening this week, the display at the British Museum is sold out until the end of the year, and has already generated so much press and social media coverage that, chances are, youâre either suffering severe FOMO (read on, for we can help), or feeling so over-saturated that youâre not sure you even need to see it. Of course, the great narrative embroidery really is as wondrous as claimed, and spine-tingl
Dear Fiona: Help! My mother keeps buying me stuff I donât like for my flat (opens the original)

Help! My mother keeps buying me stuff I donât want â or like â for my flat. She thinks sheâs being helpful, as I only moved in last year and I donât have everything â nor is the décor complete (Iâm not sure where Iâm going with some of it) â but the truth is that we have different tastes and different ways of living.

Es Devlin on the art of creating new worlds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Half a mile east of the 18th-century baroque magnificence of North Yorkshire’s Castle Howard, past woodlands ornamented with exotic rhododendrons, stands the Temple of the Four Winds. Designed – like the main house – by the architect, playwright and political activist Sir John Vanbrugh as a space for reading and relaxing, it offers views across the manicured parklands. Until the end of September, it is also the site of an installation by Es Devlin. A luminous central sculpture, made up of books
Jonathan Baldockâs fantastical creatures take over Sketch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs the day after Jonathan Baldock installs his appealingly surreal artworks in the Gallery restaurant at Sketch â which has, since opening in 2002, become a beloved Mayfair institution defined by regular aesthetic change â and he is thinking about colour. Four years ago, India Mahdavi, a designer known for her perfect chromatic pitch, refreshed the room with copper-pink walls and sunshine-yellow upholstery. Alongside the architecture, this informed Jonathanâs final selection. âColour
