Cultural things to do in April 2026

Your curated guide to April's arts and culture across the North West

Coming up for you this month, I have a brilliant designer who is gradually becoming better known for her remarkable life and work than she is for being the daughter of a famous man. There are also some exciting dance pieces and a play based on a book that both my children loved when they read it at school - and it taught them about immigration and asylum in a gentle but not-punch-pulling way.

As always, the monthly guide only covers shows that are opening and closing this month - look back at previous guides (here are February’s and March’s) to find long-running exhibitions that are still on throughout April.

This monthly guide is curated exclusively for paid members to thank them for their support, which is needed to keep Stored Honey running.
