Tammy’s top cultural tips from home and abroad
Cordoba is one of Spain’s most beautiful Andalucian cities but it can be overlooked by tourists travelling to its ‘noisy neighbours’, Seville and Granada. It’s a great shame because Cordoba makes for a fantastic city break. This vibrant city is stuffed with history, culture and intriguing places to […]
Have you ever discovered something so weird and wonderful on your travels that you’ve had to pinch yourself? Jupiter Artland is a great destination which I found completely by accident. It’s a fantastic and unexpected place, full of surprises and strange discoveries. Jupiter has a dream-like quality – […]
Looking to travel somewhere bursting with awesome art? My advice is you can’t go wrong with a holiday or short break in Denmark. Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]
Walking into the Paul Nash exhibition at Tate Britain is like going back in time to explore the big themes of the 20th Century. War and peace. Nash lived through the two defining wars of that century. He fought as a soldier in the First World War and painted as an official war artist […]
Gavin Turk is infamous for being one of the Brat Pack of Young British Artists. It’s no surprise that his first major solo show in more than a decade is wonderfully anarchic. The maverick artist’s back catalogue fills Damien Hirst’s splendid, new London art palace hidden away in the back streets of […]
Saltaire is a strong contender for the title of ‘coolest day out’ in Yorkshire. It’s a fantastic place for anyone who loves that heady mix of heritage, culture and retail therapy. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of my favourite places in northern England – and winter is a great time of year […]
Abstract Expressionism is one of the biggest art movements of the 20th Century so it’s no surprise that the Royal Academy’s juggernaut show in London is big box office. It’s the first major exhibition of Abstract Expressionism in six decades – and with around 150 painting and sculptures from around […]
Autumn has arrived finally, and I’m dreaming of booking a cosy getaway to the English Lake District to lift my spirits. The Lakes are the perfect place for an autumn or winter break. The summer crowds have long gone and there’s a more relaxed feel to one of England’s busiest tourist destinations. Add to this […]
Art is often at its best when it’s fun, playful and entertaining. Ticking all those boxes is Jeff Koons’ ‘Now’ show at London’s Newport Street Gallery with its giant inflatables, pop creations and familiar household objects. This is Pop Art at its giddy best. From giant lobsters to […]
A passion for desert landscapes is something I have in common with the great American painter, Georgia O’Keeffe. We also share a love of the Big Apple. Georgia O’Keeffe is one of my favourite artists, an inspirational woman far ahead of her time. Two places inspired her greatest works – New […]
