What's on in Holborn

City and County of the City of London, England

Holborn is a busy corner of the city where the tube lines meet and the pavement always seems to be in a rush. You can find plenty of theatre shows near the Covent Garden end, while quieter bookshops wait just around the bend for those who prefer a good story over a crowded bar. The area keeps shifting with markets that pop up on a Sunday and art galleries that change their mind every few weeks. Near Here tracks down the best tickets so you don't have to waste time hunting through flyers or standing in queues at the box office.

Spring 2026 - Magnolia by Judy Head

This painting of our Magnolia was completed in the spring of this year. The magnolia tree is one of the first to welcome the spring with a magnificent display of pink and white bracts on her bare winter branches. The leaves follow, growing larger during the summer months, and as the bracts fade the catkins emerge. Painted on hand-made Japanese paper using traditional black Sumi and coloured mineral inks. Float mounted and framed in natural Ash. The chop beneath the signature is a monogram of my initials. The second chop describes the mood of the image, Dancing Brush. Dimensions: 51cm x 43cm A Certificate of Authenticity will be provided with this artwork. UK mainland delivery included. Click here to return to Judy's collection

A solitary sun for a medieval time

Liverpool Biennial 2025: BEDROCK. This limited edition lithograph print depicts a vibrantly colourful drawing that inspired the artist’s hand tufted rug ‘“The sky is not bounded by a fixed edge!”: an illuminated rug arranged to accommodate a medieval mind.’ (2014). This work was first shown as part of the artist’s ‘The Weakened Eye of Day’ exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. ‘A solitary sun for a medieval time’ (2025) is inspired by Nolan’s interest in ecclesiastical architecture and aesthetics, and drawing the present, real and imagined together. The edition relates to Nolan’s Liverpool Biennial 2025: ‘BEDROCK’ exhibition, which features similar arches inspired by historical and current cathedrals in Liverpool: Sir Edwin Lutyen’s unfinished Roman Catholic Cathedral, of which only a crypt exists due to post-war lack of funds, St Nicolas Pro-Cathedral, which was built in 1813, and the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King , which replaced St Nicolas’ in 1967 and still stands there today. Whether fixating on the knees of a C17th sculpture, or considering the status of a Neolithic artefact, images of deep space or the contingent grandeur of Gothic architecture, Nolan’s work responds to how we make reality happen through science, philosophy, religion, and art.
