While this period of time is often reserved for devouring chocolate, we're here to remind you that.. you can still do that. But while watching a new Star Wars animated series on Disney+, or visiting the Wellcome Collection's excellent exhibition on ageing (which might make you want to reach for some fruit instead).
Meanwhile, if there's any family drama over the coming long weekend, just rest assured Zendaya and Robert Pattinson have it worse in their new movie about a bombshell secret.
Whether you're planning on a spring day out - or simply staying horizontal - here's what to hop to (no hunting required).
Exhibitions
The Coming of Age
When: Until 29 November 2026
Where: Wellcome Collection (London, UK)
As people live longer than ever before, one question is increasingly pertinent: What does it mean to "age well"?
Tracing life's transitions, from adolescence to elder years, the Wellcome Collection's latest exhibition is a fascinating exploration of how we experience getting older; told through the perspectives of art, science and popular culture. More than 120 artworks and objects highlight cultural, social and environmental influences, challenging assumptions and stirring discourse about how we can all age better.

Lee Miller
When: 10 April - 2 August 2026
Where: Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris (France)
Note: We're a little early for this one, but it's likely to be popular, so worth booking ahead.
A pioneer of 20th-century photography, Lee Miller was also a surrealist, an artist, a fashion model and an accredited war correspondent. Trailblazing in everything she tried, her evolution from muse to documentarian led to some of history's most powerful imagery.
More than 200 of her vintage and modern prints - many of which have never been shown before - will go on display at what is the largest retrospective in France for twenty years. From her early works in front of the camera, to later exposes of the world's violence - including her famous image inside Hitler's bathtub - it traces the storied journey of Miller's life through its frozen moments.

Bonus highlight: A focus on Jean-Michel Basquiat's depictions of the human head, ‘Headstrong’ at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark is on until 17 May 2026.
Movies
The Drama
Where: Cinemas
When: 3 April
Weddings are always full of drama, but for Emma (Zendaya) and Charlie (Robert Pattinson) there's an extra spanner thrown in the works. After Emma reveals her darkest secret during what's meant to be a fun, confessional party game, the pair's relationship begins to unravel amidst the chaos of wedding preparations. Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself, Dream Scenario), and produced by A24, it's a darkly comic twist on a romcom that playfully disrupts societal pretences - and questions if we ever truly know someone.
Bonus highlight: It's-a me, Mario! Or The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, to be more exact, which hits cinemas 3 April.
TV series
Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord
Where: Disney+
When: 6 April
