Five great summer events

The Luna Cinema

See? We weren’t fibbing. From June to September The Luna Cinema is taking over some of the finest locations across the UK, including 16 in London, setting up huge cinema screens, and then inviting you to settle in for some serious celluloid delights. Have you ever wanted to watch ‘Knives Out’ in the grounds of Westminster Abbey? Here’s your chance. Oh, and scroll down to the bottom of the page for details on the prize draw… it’s a good one.

All Points East

Oh boy is this one of our favourite festivals. And with good reason, too. But you know what? It looks like it could be even better this year. With a line up including Caribou, London Grammar, Jamie XX, Kano and Jorja Smith taking over Victoria Park on the August Bank Holiday weekend, this is one music festival that we think will be a great way to celebrate the summer. But we’re biased. Because we really like it here.

London Restaurant Festival - Summer Edition

If you’ve been to the London Restaurant Festival before you’ll know it’s the place to go to really experience the best of London’s brilliant, vibrant restaurant scene. But this one’s a little bit different: it’s the Summer Edition. What does that mean? Well, more outdoor dining for one. And no doubt plenty more sunshine vibes to those seasonal menus. Beyond that? It’s the familiar programme – 35 culinary experiences alongside Festival Menus at more than 250 London restaurants. This is the kind of thing tastebuds were made for.

Wimbledon

It’s back! Great news. We missed it. It wouldn’t be a true British summer without eating strawberries and cream while watching our favourite tennis stars compete. Of course it would be ace to be in the crowd, it doesn’t get much better than shouts of ‘new balls please!’ and eyes swiveling from left to right and back again in glorious, happy harmony. Such fun.

‘Van Gogh Alive’

So this is how to really experience the best of Van Gogh. And by experience we really mean experience. You see, this new exhibition at Kensington Gardens is an immersive one, with Van Gogh’s works brought vividly to life through moving imagery, installations and full-on multi-sensory overload. If you’ve ever quite liked the idea of being right inside a masterpiece from one of the world’s most famous artists, this one is definitely for you.
