The Royal Exchange: Adventure Week

The Royal Exchange, the high-end shopping court in the heart of the City that boasts brands like Agent Provocateur, Bvlgari, Molton Brown, and Gucci, is putting on an event they are calling 'Adventure Week'. Perfect for bored desk-workers at the surrounding banks and law firms, the week's events are designed to inject a bit of excitment into the daily grind - even including physical activities like climbing during lunch hour. Brands like Smythson will have pop-up displays in the courtyard and the existing shops will put on inspiring in–store activities. The week will end with a talk by the brilliantly named mountaineering expert Kenton Cool. But who knows, by then you might have abandoned your desk job to take up kite surfing.
