Some exhibitions capture the public imagination, perfectly timed to tap into the zeitgeist, but if you want to see them you need to act fast. This autumn, everyone will talking about William Blake, immersive experiences and Moving to Mars. Here are the shows to book in advance, before they sell out.

William Blake: The Artist, Tate Britain

William Blake was a prolific poet, a radical political thinker and a technically innovative visual artist. This is the largest exhibition of Blake's work since 2001 and his appeal only grows. This show will provide a window into one of Britain's most original minds and is sure to draw in the crowds.
