As more and more events are being organised locally Nub News is launching a new weekly roundup of what's on in Penarth each week.

Every Thursday we will now bring you our top picks of the events in our What's On section for the coming week.

Here are our top event picks for the coming days:

1. Extraordinary Exhibitions!

To accompany The Turner House's first Open Call exhibition, art historian Morgan Haigh will be presenting a special lecture on the most famous, and infamous, exhibitions in the history of art.

This lecture documents how we have encountered art through time and how its display has been used to send messages to an audience. From the shock of the new to legendary artistic feuds, amazing spectacles to political statements, the impact of 'exhibitions' often changed the course of art and the way we view the world around us forever.

Whether it's a personal, private show or an international extravaganza, displays of a single artwork or hundreds of paintings and sculptures, this is the story of the galleries, the artists, their work and us, the viewing public.

2. 'The Importance of Being Interested' with Robin Ince

Comedian Robin Ince quickly abandoned science at school, bored by a fog of dull lessons and intimidated by the barrage of equations. But, twenty years later, he fell in love and he now presents one of the world's most popular science podcasts. Every year he meets hundreds of the world's greatest thinkers.

In 'The Importance of Being Interested', Ince reveals why scientific wonder isn't just for the professionals. Filled with interviews featuring astronauts, comedians, teachers, quantum physicists, neuroscientists and more - as well as charting Robin's own journey with science - 'The Importance of Being Interested' explores why many wrongly think of the discipline as distant and difficult.

Join Griffin Books to welcome Robin, in the beautiful location of Penarth Pier Pavillion. This is certainly not an event to be missed.
