Venus is visible in the early evening when the sky is fully dark. I have been able to see Venus from just after sunset and it is easily seen up to 90 minutes after sunset, longer if you have a clear western horizon. When the sky is fully dark you can see Venus above the western horizon and bright Jupiter above the eastern horizon.
Mars is visible in the low above the north-western horizon in the evening twilight. Mars is close to Mercury on the 19th. After this mars is increasingly difficult to see.
Jupiter is now above the eastern horizon around 6 pm. Saturn and Jupiter form a line in the sky.
