Posted on June 21, 2013

Although it might be set to pour with rain for the next week, I suggest these 5 events to stave off cabin fever.
 

Bench2Bench
This group show is supporting children in the UK diagnosed with cancer, and artist Rohan Samuel will be walking from a bench in Charing Cross, London to the furthest bench in England in Berwick-upon-Tweed from August 1st- 5th October.
The exhibition will be running now- 27th June.

Exchange: 1,000 Good Deeds at the Foundling museum
Clare Twomey's good deed cups and saucers are waiting for 10 visitors a day to take the gauntlet and carry through the good deed printed on the cup (and you'll get to keep the set). The museum itself is well worth a visit, telling the story of 270 years of the Coram Foundation.
