La Prairie x Bio Sculpture Cashmere Indulgence Manicure Pop-Up

To celebrate the launch of its new Cashmere Body Cream – and its first-ever step into bodycare – La Prairie is taking over the Bio Sculpture Nail Bar at Selfridges with a week-long pop-up. Clients can choose from four limited-edition La Prairie x Cashmere-inspired nail designs alongside classic shades, featuring soft nudes, pops of signature cobalt blue and nods to the iconic Skin Caviar Collection. Every manicure finishes with an indulgent La Prairie Cashmere hand and arm massage, designed to activate acupressure points, ease tension and leave skin cocooned in moisture thanks to the new cream.

Sessions Arts Club’s Sunday Sessions

One of London’s hottest dining rooms is now open on Sundays. Sessions Arts Club’s Sunday Sessions invite guests to settle in by the fire for relaxed afternoons of exceptional seasonal cooking and occasional chef collaborations. Head chef Fenella is in charge of the produce-led menus; expect dishes such as tender shoulder of lamb, duck liver with orange and tarragon and indulgent rhubarb trifle. This weekend also marks the launch of the restaurant’s Sunday Residency Programme, with London-based cook and food writer Jago Rackham kicking things off (followed by Trinity’s Adam Byatt later in February). More big names will be announced throughout this year.

Upstairs at Ronnie Scott’s

Ronnie Scott’s is opening a new, purpose-built 140-capacity room upstairs – and it’s just as exciting as the main stage. Expect pristine acoustics, a Yamaha grand piano and a genre-spanning programme covering gospel, soul, hip-hop, musical theatre, vocal jazz jams and emerging talent nights. Even better? Backstage areas will be open to the public for the first time.
