Best UK Photography Exhibitions to See in 2026

If you're UK-based or planning a trip, there's a genuinely strong calendar of exhibitions running through 2026. Don McCullin at the Holburne in Bath is the standout. Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Bird Photographer of the Year are both touring, so check if they're hitting a city near you before paying London prices. The Sony World Photography Awards land at Somerset House, which is worth a visit if you want to see what's actually winning at that level right now. Less useful as a bookmark for later, more useful as a planning tool before the good runs close.
