## SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE:

### Fair Shot Café

Fair Shot, the social enterprise café that provides training and employment for young adults with learning disabilities, has relocated from Mayfair to The Yards at Covent Garden. The larger site means the team can train more young people with disabilities and help them find a job in the capital, from other hospitality roles to employment in corporate offices. Visit the new café for Curious Roo coffee and all-day brunch options like overnight oats with caramelised pear, sultanas and honey; portobello mushrooms on toast with creamed spinach; and roasted beetroot salad with feta, radish and walnuts. There’s also a selection of freshly made focaccias, toasties and salads.

## DISCOVER BRITISH ART:

### Centre for British Photography

The Centre for British Photography is a new exhibition space and gallery on Jermyn Street. The private gallery – which is free for all – features 3,000 works from the collection of Claire and James Hyman and is now the world’s largest gallery dedicated to British photography. Built up over the past three decades, the collection features over 100 artists including Bill Brandt, Martin Parr, Jo Spence, Karen Knorr, Jo Spence and Heather Agyepong. There’s also an exhibition space in the basement featuring documentary photography of British life.

## CATCH A CLASSIC:

### Carmen at the London Coliseum

Calixto Bieito’s acclaimed and fiery *Carmen* returns to the London Coliseum this month for its third revival since it was first staged more than a decade ago. One of the most popular operas ever written, it features Bizet’s recognisable score with dramatic numbers including ‘Habanera’ and ‘Toreador Song’ – all performed by the English National Opera. As the famous story goes, Carmen is a woman ablaze with passion and surrounded by men possessed by obsession and jealousy. One of opera’s most well-known characters sets herself on a road to tragedy when she meets Don José, a corporal in the army searching for love. Tickets start from £10.

## GO OUT OUT:

### Café 1001

Brick Lane’s Café 1001 always attracts a cool crowd, so we were pleased to hear it has reopened after a revamp. The same buzzy atmosphere has been turned up a notch with the addition of a killer sound system, a custom-built DJ booth and an exciting line-up of DJs. Head into the main bar – with its striking new red design – to enjoy live music and browse street food pop-ups (exact names will be announced in the coming weeks). On Friday 3rd February, deep house and soul DJ Millie McKee will take to the decks, before Voices Radio hosts an all-dayer on Saturday 4th February from 4pm. Tickets are free.

## SEE AN IMPORTANT EXHIBITION:

### Ukraine Photographs from the Frontline 

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shocked the world last year. But for those living in Donbas and Crimea, the prospect of war has loomed since 2014, building to a conflict that has become one of Europe’s most devastating since World War Two. This new exhibition at the Imperial War Museum features photographs taken by renowned photographer and journalist Anastasia Taylor-Lind during her time in Ukraine between 2014 and June 2022. They document the devastating reality of living in this part of the world. Tickets are free.

## GET LOST IN NATURE:

### Kew Garden Orchid Festival

Kew Gardens has just opened its annual orchid festival at its Prince of Wales Conservatory. This year, the festival celebrates biodiversity hotspot Cameroon – home to some of the world’s most delicate and threatened orchids, some of which are so rare their locations must be kept secret for their protection. From lush rainforests and volcanic mountains to arid desert plains, Cameroon’s huge variety of plants and wildlife are supported by varied habitats, reflected across the ten unique climatic zones in the conservatory. Guests will also see large-scale sculptures by Kew’s team of expert horticulturists, hand-crafted from an array of real, colourful orchids and plants. Tickets cost £16.50.
