Why go? Step into summer with a kinder approach to skincare thanks to this lovely lip balm making class with Aura Organics at Samsung KX. Working with a friend, you’ll first learn about the individual ingredients making up a lip balm (and the hard work they do) before being carefully tutored through crafting your own. Make it just the way you like it with your choice of wax, fragrance and colour before setting it in the fridge. For added artistic flair, you’ll also get to design your own labels. Ten pounds well spent!

Why go? High quality self-care can be pricey – however good that hot stone massage is – but this calming, sensory experience is only five pounds, allowing you to experience all the healing benefits without the usual credit card bill guilt. The session by The Refinery starts with some centering breathwork before immersing you in an auditory experience designed to completely relax the mind and body. Think of it as the ultimate spring clean for your own self just as the daffodils are coming out in force.

Why go? Ever watched Coachella and thought, “I could totally do that”? Or maybe it was the VMAs or the Brits that really got you inspired. Whatever it is, you can unleash your inner Beyonce with State of Formation’s Cassius Powell. The hour-long high energy dance cardio class comes soundtracked by the biggest names in pop and RnB, giving you plenty of motivation to channel your inner diva while getting fit at the same time. It doesn’t matter what abilities you may already have, the experience is open to everyone. You’ll even be able to monitor your progress using Samsung’s Galaxy watches, isn’t that smart?

Why go? Ever wondered how to make the perfect strawberry shortcake? This summer staple will have all your dinner guests swooning. You’ll watch experts from Bread Ahead as they whip up the fresh dough, before cutting and baking it. This will then be served with fresh strawberries and a traditional pastry filling: lemon crème diplomate. Of course, you won’t just be sitting back and taking notes, there will be plenty of opportunities to assist in the baking throughout, all while using Samsung’s fancy fridge and oven.

You don’t need to be Sally Rooney or Michael Morpurgo to join though – it’s accessible to all levels and you won’t be expected to share your work, which encourages all kinds of unexpected ideas to emerge. You’ll even get to use Samsung’s swish new tablets while you’re writing tall tales.

The kind that all your Instagram followers wish they had made themselves? Well, that’s where the Grape and Fig sisters, Toria and Catherine, come in. They’re helping you to create the ultimate cheese platter at this live in-store demo. Learn how to create inspiring platters using only the finest 100 percent British cheese and charcuterie.

Why go? No longer do artists have to set up rickety old easels in unusual surroundings, braving the elements while juggling paints and water pots. Instead, you can try something a little more 21st century, in the form of digital portrait drawing, courtesy of all-female art collective London Drawing Group. Ditch the old school approach and make use of the ultra-slick Galaxy tablets as you create your own little masterpiece at Samsung KX. You’re sure to leave feeling like a virtual Van Gogh.
