Teddington's Landmark Arts Centre has announced that it will be putting on a full programme of events this autumn for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

The community arts centre and sometime TV filming location has had to close or offer only a limited programme over the past 16 months, due to lockdown restrictions.

But now as the government has lifted its social distancing rules the centre will be able to put on a varied programme from September to December 2021.

Concerts, art fairs, and comedy shows have already been announced and more events will be added to the Landmark's website each week.

Below are a few highlights of the autumn programme, as selected by your Nub News editor.
