May officially marks the start of festival season and we can’t think of a better way to kick it off that Mighty Hoopla. This year’s headliners are Ciara and Kesha, while the likes of Jade, JoJo, Loreen, Erika Jayne, Jamelia, Mutya Buena, Kate Nash, The Vengaboys, Pixie Lott and Samantha Mumba will all be taking to the stage across the weekend. That’s a CRACKING lineup, if you ask us. Last remaining tickets here.

He might be best known as an iconic popstar, but Robbie Williams is also an artist and he’s bringing a never-before-seen collection of sculpture works as well as some of his celebrated paintings to London’s Moco Museum for a brand-new exhibition. Exploring themes of vulnerability, resilience, and self-exploration, Robbie’s bold and raw art challenges visitors to embrace their imperfections and redefine strength through authenticity.

The Lost Estate's Paradise Under the Stars

Throughout summer

From £59.50pp

Earl's Court, London

The Lost Estate’s latest fantastical night of wonder, Paradise Under the Stars, will transport you to 1950s Cuba. This other-worldly immersive experience is not one to miss; from the divine South American menu including tostones, okra and Cuban rice to the array of delicious cocktails – think Pina Colada’s and Mai Tai - that accompany it, alongside the jaw-dropping entertainment and a bewitching setting, Paradise Under the Stars lives up its name with vigour.

There are three ticket options to choose from and whether you decide club grande or cabaret exclusive you are guaranteed a bewitching night of delicious food and an equally as delicious stage show. The only downside is that when the event is over you must return to ruddy old England and we know we would much rather be watching the mambo and sipping on drinks that taste like a tropical heaven. Click here to book now before Club Havana is gone forever.
