\"\"It\u2019s hard to believe that we are only one month into 2018. Hopefully, you are now well and truly on your way to becoming that shiny “new you”, as devised on January 1. However, if you’re anything like us, that “new you” has died, and been replaced by the pasty and despairing version of yourself that somehow trudges through winter each year. Have no fear, though: our monthly cultural calendar is here to brighten up the grey February skies.\u00a0From art openings to theatre and the Berlinale, the shortest month of the year is about to get a whole lot busier!<\/p>\n
