Unboxed - has anyone been to an event yet? [View all]

'Unboxed' is what the "Festival of Brexit", announced by Theresa May in 2018, became. And it's so non-Brexit, it's incredible.

It's basically 10 public art works/events, all happening at more than one site, from April to September.

The first event started on 30th March, and I've heard nothing about it. Has anyone else? "Tour de Moon" is in Southampton in the middle of June, and I may rock up and see what the hell it is.

The only thing that made me look for it was The Festival of Britain being mentioned on TV this evening, and I thought "wasn't there some recreation of that planned? Whatever happened to it?"
