### GET CREATIVE: *OKA Pop-Up*

We love OKA’s timeless furniture and home accessories, especially their armchairs and statement lampshades, so we were very excited to hear the brand is hosting an immersive pop-up this weekend at Old Sessions House in Clerkenwell. Taking place from Friday 8th to Sunday 9th October, the pop-up will showcase OKA’s new autumn/winter collection with a series of workshops, talks and masterclasses. Floral stylist Willow Crossley is hosting a workshop on how to arrange faux flowers, event planner Fiona Leahy will be sharing her top entertaining tips, and sisters Hermione and Ellie Gee (the duo behind Hum London) will show attendees how to hand-paint their own lampshades with colourful patterns. Watch the live demos from OKA’s skilled master craftsman, then treat yourself to a slice of cake and coffee from the refreshments stall. Entry is free; workshops start from £75 and include an exclusive OKA tote decorated in one of the brand’s signature prints.

### WATCH AN IMPORTANT PLAY: *Is God Is, Royal Court Theatre*

It’s Black History Month and there’s a roster of cultural events happening around the UK to mark the occasion. If you haven’t had a chance to see Aleshea Harris’s award-winning play, now’s the time to do so. Running at Royal Court Theatre in Chelsea until Saturday 23rd October, Is God Is spans several genres, including Greek tragedy, spaghetti western, hip-hop and Afropunk. When a letter arrives from the mother they thought was dead, 21-year-old twins Racine and Anaia travel from America’s South to California to avenge their past and take down anyone who stands in their way. As with every production at Royal Court Theatre, on Mondays every seat in the theatre is £12, otherwise tickets start from £14.

Sloane Square, Chelsea, SW1W 8AS

### WATCH A FEEL-GOOD FILM: *Everybody’s Talking About Jamie*

If you’re after a feel-good film to watch this weekend, *Everybody’s Talking About Jamie* has just landed on Amazon Prime. Inspired by true events, the film is an adaptation of the award-winning West End musical. Jamie (Max Harwood) is a teenager in a blue-collar English town with a dream of life on stage. While his classmates plan their lives after graduation, Jamie contemplates revealing his secret ambition to be a proud drag queen. His best friend Pritti (Lauren Patel) and his loving mum (Sarah Lancashire) shower him with endless support while local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle (Richard E. Grant) mentors him toward his debut stage performance. But it’s not all rainbows for Jamie as his dad and some ignorant school kids attempt to rain on his dreams. A must for all musical theatre lovers.

### DITCH BRUNCH FOR THIS: *Secret Yoga Club At The London Edition*

As part of The London Edition’s wellness programme, Secret Yoga Club are hosting yoga sessions at the hotel every other Saturday from 11am-12:15pm. The next class takes place on Saturday 9th October – ideal if you’re looking to get back into the gym or try something a bit different.

You don’t need to have any prior experience to get involved, classes are suitable for all abilities and will include modifications for those trying yoga for the first time. The best part?

### LEARN ABOUT SELF-CARE: *You Deserve Better By Anne-Marie*

Singer-song writer Anne-Marie has just released her first book, You Deserve Better. Covering a range of topics from body image and mental health to being successful at work and learning what real friendship is about, the book has plenty of self-care tips that Anne-Marie lives by. With anecdotes from her career to date, you’ll also find out how she stays grounded, navigates social media and how therapy has transformed her life. A self-help guide with plenty of no-nonsense advice, we anticipate this book will be making its way around friendship groups very soon.

### BRING THE GIRLS HERE: Troxy

Iconic East London venue Troxy has finally opened its doors after 18 months of pandemic-induced closure. As well as a new line-up of events and gigs to look forward to, the venue itself has had a slick makeover with even more sparkle and glitter. On Saturday 9th October, Troxy will be turned into prismatic jungle for ‘IllumiNaughty: Shamanic Tales’, an immersive techno night featuring a string of top DJs like Atrix and Neill Moore. On Saturday 23rd October, the space will play host to the ‘Festival of the Dead’ for Halloween with a high-octane mix of circus performances and clubbing anthems. With a different show every Saturday until the end of the year, tickets (from £30) are expected to sell out quickly.

### ORDER THIS DISH: *Napoli Gang's Pink Burrata For Breast Cancer Awareness Month*

To mark breast cancer awareness month, SL favourite Napoli Gang (who make seriously good pizza) have created the ‘Boob-Rata’, a pink burrata filled with hot-pink beetroot hummus. Available for the rest of the month via *UberEats* and *Deliveroo*, all proceeds go to CoppaFeel! which raises awareness of breast cancer among young people. With branches in Wood Green, Wandsworth, Kentish Town and Bethnal Green, if you’re lucky enough to live near a Napoli Gang, add on antipasti sides and a truffle, cheese or pepperoni pizza.

### BRING THE GIRLS HERE: *Park Chinois*

In need of a fun Saturday night out or have a special occasion to celebrate? Mayfair institution Park Chinois has just launched a season of immersive shows. From Wednesday to Saturday every week, diners can enjoy a meal at the Asian restaurant – inspired by 1930s Shanghai – alongside a series of shows featuring aerial acts, dancers, and singers. Revolving around the theme of ‘rebirth’, expect exciting performances with great cocktails and Chinese dishes. Our pick? The new ‘Dim Sum Afternoon’ experience (£85pp), where diners can enjoy a glass of champagne and three-course meal consisting of small plates of dim sum and dishes like sweet and sour prawns with caramelised pineapple, stir-fried chicken with ginger sauce, and seasonal desserts created by the resident pastry chef.
