I used as various times to maintain a Googlesheet of exhibitions I might possibly interested in going to — then life intervened repeatedly, and it got out of date. Over the past few months I’ve been updating it and there are still a few venues missing, but it’s a l-o-n-g list and I need to work out a decent format still. I have a list sorted by closing date and by venue, and below is opening soon.
Information presented in good faith — a lot of mistakes came to light in this update — and check website before travelling. There’s a south eastern bias, plus major cities in Wales, Scotland and Ireland (I still haven’t been to Northern Ireland). Additions welcome.

I will try to pick up my list in the next week or two. Caroline M pointed out that a lot of the exhibitions are on the ArtFund website, but I still didn’t like it as much as my own list. But it does take a lot of time to look after.
Still aiming to get to at least one and ideally two or three major exhibitions a month, with a couple of little ones tucked in around the edges.

And a useful wish list. But the AF app only lists current stuff. And doesn’t always link up stuff.
I don’t think it lists Whitworth or De La Warr.
