New year, new plans

January tends to be a quieter month on the events calendar — the December rush has passed, and many venues ease back in with smaller, cosier programming while the year gets going.

  • Catch an intimate gig, comedy night or theatre show indoors
  • Book ahead now for spring and summer festivals before they sell out
  • Look for New Year concerts and early film-festival premieres
