It took its sweet, sweet time coming around but June is finally here. Apart from it being the start of summer, we’ve got a jam-packed guide to get you excited for the month. From channeling your inner Regina George at an immersive Mean Girls night to sipping boozy slushies and dangling above London in a cable car, there’s no way you should miss these fetch happenings.
Things To Do In June
Channel Regina George At This Immersive Movie Night - London
It may have been one time, but she still made out with a hot dog. One of our favourite chick flicks is coming to real life this June and it's going to divide the Regina Georges from the Cady Herons. That's right, Mean Girls is coming to London in the form of North Shore High School's prom; get ready for a screening of the movie, themed drinks and food, alongside lots of pink props. It's going to be so fetch.
Attend a Top Secret 1940’s Blitz Party - London
Ever wondered what life was like back in the '40s? Now's your chance to find out. The Blitz Party is back for one night and one night only, and we have a dozen good reasons to attend. You'll find this knees-up in an authentic air-raid shelter and there's a swing lesson before the real fun kicks off. If you wear yourself out mastering all those steps? You can boost your energy levels in the mess mall, or with some classic cocktails.
Dedicate an Entire Weekend to This Cocktail Festival - Liverpool
You missed out on tickets to Glastonbury but that doesn't mean all your festival fantasies have to go up in flames. There's a festival dedicated to cocktails coming to Liverpool this June and it's going to champion the best of the city's mixology. From £6.50 serves, secret bars and a stellar street food line-up, you won't regret making this event the highlight of your month.
Belt Your Heart Out At This Epic Club Night - Bristol
You screamed the lyrics into a hairbrush at the tender age of nine and you belted out the words on an awkward UBER journey home last week, but now's time to take your love of power ballads to the next level. Ultimate Power is touring the UK this year, landing itself in Bristol, and it's got the makings for one of your best nights out yet. Costing £5 a ticket, trust us when you say you won't want to miss a thing.
Go Undercover At Secret Cinema - London
Enter a world of high stakes, sophistication and deception at Secret Cinema. This season's theme is the iconic world of James Bond. You'll spend your evening sipping glorious martinis and unravelling the dark underworld of the most infamous criminal organisations, before ending the night with a unique screening of Casino Royale. Tickets are selling out fast, so act quick if you want to get your mitts on a pair.
Dangle Above London in a Cute Cable Car - London
If you're afraid of heights, you might want to skip to the next event in our round-up. One of our favourite London experiences has made a huge comeback and we want to shout about it from the cable bars. Sky High Dining has returned to the Emirates Air Line, meaning you can dangle above the capital while tucking into a five-course meal, courtesy of pop-up king Jimmy Garcia. Are we high on this news? Most definitely.
Drink Chocolate-Laced Cocktails, Beer and Gin - London
Bad day at the office? Grab a chocolate bar. An even worse Bumble date? Grab a cocktail. We'll always find an excuse to have one of the two but we thought we'd let you in on our latest one: The Chocolate Cocktail Club. This magical pop-up has extended its stay until the end of August and has a menu littered with chocolate cocktails, beer and gin. For £10, you're guaranteed a seat and a complimentary Chocotini when you walk through the door.
Cook Cocktails at a Breaking Bad-Inspired Bar - London
It's been six years since the last episode of Breaking Bad, but die hard fans can enter the world of Walter White at this immersive molecular cocktail bar. Located in London, this cocktail experience (that's a world first) is inspired by the epic programme and will see you cooking two cocktails in an RV, with one welcome drink to help settle those nerves. Get ready for acids, protective clothing and alcohol aplenty.
Discover London’s Newest Roof Terrace - London
Mexican wrestlers and batting cages. You can find both at London's coolest rooftops but we're not here to tell you about them. We're here to tell you about Flight Club. This Victoria gem opened late last year and they have a rooftop terrace to write home about. It's got roaring fire pits, it's got bookable huts and it's got a jukebox telephone box that belts out cracking tunes (we're a massive fan of Adele's Someone Like You).
Go to the BBQ of all BBQs - Birmingham
Whether you have mad BBQ skills or lack the ability to light the coals, there's no need to pick up lighter fluid in your next Tesco shop. BBQ Fest is coming to Birmingham and it's got an applause-worthy line-up of traders flaming up their grills. From exclusive meaty menus to summery cocktails and brilliant DJ sets, this is one day festival you don't want to miss out on.
Watch a show at Graduate Fashion Week - London
Fancy discovering the more exciting emerging talent in the world of fashion? Head down to Graduate Fashion Week's four-day event in London on the 2nd – 5th June 2019 at The Old Truman Brewery. Book your tickets to watch a catwalk show before they sell out.
