Posted 20th February 2012, 10:30am in Extra by Amy Rich
The Diary: 20th - 27th February 2012 Monday 20th FebruaryDesigns of the Year 2012. Design Museum, London. 10am – 5.45pm daily. Tickets £7 - £11, under 12s free. Check out the best designs in fashion, architecture, graphics, product, transport, furniture and interactive from the past year. On until 15th July 2012. 

Tuesday 21st FebruaryBake Club. Sofi’s, 65 Henderson Street, Edinburgh. 7pm. £Free. Love cake? Love making it? Love eating it? You should love this then. Share knowledge, tips and know-how at this skill-swapping session. 

Wednesday 22nd FebruaryQuentin Blake: As Large As Life. The Foundling Museum, London. 10am – 5pm. Tickets £7.50 (£5 concessions). An exhibition featuring well-known pictures and new work from one of the UK’s best-loved illustrators, created for hospitals in the UK and France.
 
Thursday 23rd FebruaryBristol Guitar Society. The Pierian Centre, Bristol. 7.30pm – 10pm. Get in touch for prices. It can be a lonely hobby being a guitarist. All those endless hours locked in your garage perfecting that three-chord trick can leave you feeling like a social outcast. So get out there, socialise and talk guitars.  

Friday 24th FebruarySpoti-Friday. The Deaf Institute, Manchester. 5pm – 3am. Free. Fed up of listening to the DJ’s song choices? Fair enough. Head down to The Deaf Institute for an evening where you get to play God. Well, you get to pick your own songs anyway. Our pick? Pulp’s Razzmatazz. No contest. 

Saturday 25th FebruaryBluebeard: A Fairytale for Adults. The Carriageworks, Leeds. 7.30pm. Tickets £7 - £11. Charles Perrault’s somewhat sinister fairytale has been transformed into an adult adaptation by Milk Theatre Company. Cabaret song and naughtiness promised so under 16s have to stay away. Boo hiss. 

Sunday 26th FebruaryMargins Book and Music Festival. The Arches, Glasgow. Tickets £2 - £12. A seriously cool offering presenting the best in new writing talent. Expect bookish types, lots of thick-rimmed glasses, and Belle & Sebastian wannabes.
