10 Things To Do This February
What, wear, who: here's everything you need on your cultural radar this month
What, wear, who, everything you need for your cultural radar this month
SEE
Oscar-tipped A Private War, directed by renowned documentary film-maker Matthew Heineman, is this month’s must-see. Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) plays the late war correspondent Marie Colvin. Spanning roughly a decade of her career, it’s a raw exploration of a formidable woman’s inner battles. Hard-hitting and extraordinary. Out 15 February.
LISTEN
From viral singles (if you haven’t already, YouTube Getting Busy!) to festival sets, the weird and wonderful Jimothy Lacoste had a huge 2018. Now he’s back touring the UK: expect kooky rap, playfulness and, of course, some incredible clothes. From 6 to 15 February.
EXPERIENCE
Love life drawing but can’t handle stranger nakedness? London creative hub Carousel has the solution: Wild Life Drawing, where you sketch exotic micro birds that have been rescued (a proportion of sales goes to their care), for a blush-free evening. 25 February; http://carousel-london.com/
READ
The latest series of Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye books explore never-before-seen areas of countries from Iran to Bali through the lens of photographers such as Harley Weir and Quentin de Briey. Your coffee table needs these now. £42 each; uk.louisvuitton.com
FLEX
Using the eight-limbs method (not as scary as it sounds), the new Another_Round class at Another_Space hones in on boxing techniques, using drills and pad/bag work to help you master any future HIIT classes. anotherspace.london
EXPLORE
With its Lake of Seven Colours, the jungle-encircled town of Bacalar, Mexico, is the perfect off-the-radar retreat. Airbnbs start at £20 per night, or try the lakeside casitas at Rancho Encantado. encantado.com
EAT
Forget two-for-one cocktails at happy hour: the oyster bar at London restaurant Neptune offers half-price oysters (from independent UK growers) from 6 to 7pm every day. Let the natural aphrodisiac work its magic this Valentine’s Day... neptune.london
INDULGE
Forget everything you think you know about facials and head to FaceGym – the UK’s only gym for your face, where trainers perform (non-invasive) workouts targeting the ‘forgotten’ 40 muscles of the face to stimulate circulation, collagen production and cell renewal, lifting, sculpting and toning. Add-ons include Skin IV, which applies medical-grade vitamins at super-speed. facegym.com
DRINK
The Big Mamma restaurant group is already legendary in Paris, thanks to its Italian spots La Felicità and Pink Mamma. This month, it arrives in London’s Shoreditch with trattoria Gloria, serving up limoncello, home-brewed beer, and Passion Coladas – perfectly timed for Valentine’s month. bigmammagroup.com
