The big story of the next seven days

Twelfth Night is on January 5 and marks the end of the festive season, the cards are taken down, thre tree taken to the recycling centre and the decorations packed away until December.

The day carries a spirited mix of fun and reflection, making it feel like the final bow after a grand performance.

This occasion also ties into Shakespeare’s play, which shares its name, and features Viola, Orsino, Olivia, Sir Toby Belch, Feste and Malvolio.
