Fact: singing makes you feel better. A lot better. I won’t hear anything against that – it’s just true. And if you can come together with others to sing in perfect harmony to one of your favourite songs? Well, that’s basically the Gail’s cinnamon bun of happiness. It doesn’t get much sweeter. Unfortunately, IRL choirs

While a ceilidh might breach all those social distancing rules, a little bit of haggis never hurt anybody. Here’s a selection of meal kits and food orders you can still get to yours in time for a grand at-home celebration of Burns Night this coming Monday (January 25).  Townsend’s Burns Night feast (pictured above) Don’t just stop at neeps and

The ballgowns, the stately intrigue, the wigs, the surprisingly flimsy bodices … it’s safe to say Bridgerton has made a lot of people very happy since it launched on Netflix at Christmas. And there’s more good news for its army of fans: once lockdown ends, they’ll be able to take a specially tailored tour of

BrewLDN, which bills itself as ‘the ultimate date in the craft beer calendar’, has announced its big 2021 shindig for May. Do you have a craft beer calendar? If not, why not? Traditionally taking place at Old Truman Brewery, event organisers have this year instead opted for Printworks in Surrey Quays. The festival will serve

Yes, you’ve got a lot of time on your hands at home. But even with the six hours it takes to make this iconic dish, there’s no way you’re going to achieve the results they get at Otto’s. The Clerkenwell restaurant has been making a name for itself in foodie circles since it launched in 2011 with its

Welcome to our new series, One Good Thing to Do Today.

This Walt Disney World resort report covers our recent experience staying in the Boulder Ridge Villas at Wilderness Lodge. We share photos & video of our room, decorations, lobby, Electrical Water Pageant, and commentary on why it might be a good option for “buying low” into DVC. It’s no secret that Wilderness Lodge is my

Back in 2018, a group of ‘art activists’ headed to City Hall with a request. With a visit from then-US President Donald Trump imminent, they wanted permission to fly a giant balloon – designed to look like a naked Donald Trump in a nappy – in the sky above Westminster. A crowdfunder was launched to raise

Heavy metal is law. There’s no point fighting it. There’s no point debating the fact. London is a town full of leather rebels, full-time thrashers and blast beat fanatics. Case-in-point: Crobar, the storied Soho heavy metal bar that was forced to close last year, has managed to raise a stonking £40,000 on Crowdfunder. The intent? To

It’s fair to say that Top Cuvée has bossed lockdown. The little bar with the weird name pivoted hard to home delivery last year and has since become the poster child for Ingenious Resilient Businesses. Shop Cuvée, as it’s now known, sends out booze and comfort food across the capital, via bicycle, from its Blackstock Road site. The venture’s been

With numbers of Covid cases (once again) very high, hospitals are (once again) overstretched. As we all look towards getting through the tough next few weeks, perhaps now is the time to think about doing something nice for the NHS staff near you.

Its motley crew of keepers is stepping away from feeding time and turd-sweeping to take a turn in front of the camera, beaming into your bedroom for story time. 

When we went to Bruce Nauman’s exhibition at the Tate Modern last year we declared it ‘vulgar violent and absurd’, which is our art critic’s way of saying he really enjoyed himself. Sadly, the gallery had to close its (massive) doors not long after, so all of Bruce’s brilliant sculptures and video installations have been sitting around in the dark,

It’s been brewing since Lockdown 1 but it’s hitting its peak right now. With restaurants shuttered and takeaways hard to photograph in the
