Why have a fifth of older audiences not returned to the UK’s cultural attractions post-Covid? What can we do to re-engage them? Find out in my article for @researchlive based on research by @MHMinsight for @V_and_A, @RoyalOperaHouse, @WallaceCollection @RoyalAlbertHall & @alva_uk – at Greenwich, London
Following Covid-19, how can the UK’s cultural attractions tempt older people back? Marie Hobson looks at a V&A survey on the issue:

I keep thinking about how this time last year we were in lockdown & then feel so grateful that we can do @Girlguiding meetings in person now.
After a pre-lockdown dash around Lee, Grove Park & Hither Green with supplies for our girls, we are ready to re-zoom Guide & Ranger meetings online!
(Did anyone like the pun? 😉)

Next up is the Urban Wildlife category. Gil Wizen @wizentrop is the winner with this incredible Brazilian wandering spider.
After noticing tiny spiders all over his bedroom, Gil looked under his bed. There, guarding its brood, was one of the world’s most venomous spiders. #WPY57

Cannot believe I’m on @Blooloop’s Top 50 Museum Influencer List for 2021! So glad my @covidsitor account helped others in the sector during the pandemic (makes all the hours lost to webinars worthwhile).
