FOOD: Meatopia
If you’re looking to sink your teeth into something a bit meatier this weekend then head over to Tobacco Dock for Meatopia’s food festival, where a collection of UK based and international chefs are firing up their coals and serving a selection of meaty treats.
Not for the fainthearted or vegetarian.

What better backdrop for Baz Luhrmann’s enchanting film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet than the stately Kew Palace? Cobble together a picnic and head there to fall in love with Leo all over again.

PARTY: Prohibition Party
Don your best 20’s attire and head - if you can find it - to The Prohibition Party this Saturday. Held at a secret central London location, the event promises ‘a return to the hedonism of the roaring 20s’.
Think glitzy flapper dresses, elbow length gloves and dapper gentlemen, against a backdrop of live jazz and mouth-watering cocktails.
