Excalibur, equipped. School,
skipped. Six months ago, when they lost their Mum, their names
shot past the sun and echoed through the stars. Today they
become the greats they’re destined to be. A journey through a
city like London; one with trolls and warlocks, goblins and
knives. For 13 year old Jay and 8 year old Saskia, this is the
biggest quest of their lives.
|
|
|
|
|
A mash-up of gig theatre, live
foley and hip-hop influenced slam poetry, this modern fable
takes audiences to another world. Performed by multi-award
winning company Pound of Flesh, Fires Our Shoes Have Made

form.

even enjoy it…

London's Luxury Piercing
Parlours
If
you’re under the impression that piercings must be done in a dark
basement with metal music in the background, you have been
misinformed. There are so many different people in London with so
many different tastes, that option works for some but not for
all. If you’d like to get some body art done or to adorn your
body with beautiful jewels, there are a small handful of London
based parlours with a luxurious feel that will suit your needs.
Simply book (or potentially walk in) and enjoy your alternative
piercing experience…

London's Secret Galleries
Looking
for a fresh art fix this season, or just a way to escape the
heat? Discover something unique and lesser known at one of our
recommended secret galleries in London that are off the
typical tourist art trail…

The Hurlingham Polo International Day
The
Hurlingham Polo International Day, tomorrow at The Royal
County of Berkshire Polo Club, is the most prestigious summer

one of the world’s oldest sports which dates back to Iran in the
1st century AD. The International Day is full of fast-paced polo
matches combined with entertainment, food, drink and shopping.

The Hatch Ballet, Wiltshire
This
summer stunner is back with a bang for its tenth year, set in the
natural theatre of Hatch House’s beautifully wild 17th-century
gardens. Growing organically from humble beginnings, this dance
extravaganza now showcases the gold standard of global ballet
dancers. This year, Ksenia Ovsyanick, Principal of Staatsballett
Berlin, will return to perform at Hatch, along with Steven McRae,

Hello
New York,
This weekend’s
wild guide is packed full of quirky fun like a skate party from the
’90s, Tequila Fest at Coney Island and more! 🍹🎶
There’s an
uninhabitable island in NYC and it’s hosting a gladiator-like battle known as
the Battle
for Mau Mau. 🏹🤸
|
Prized Tap Water
After
being included as one of the tap water contestants during the New York
State’s Regional Metro Tap Water Taste Test competition, New York City was
rewarded for their placement.
Testing with
around 40 on a readable dissolved solids meter, NYC's water supply gets
praise for scoring on the higher spectrum in the U.S. Thanks to the watershed
protection programs held in place, the supply of unfiltered water for the
public is considered not only safe but of excellent quality.
|
Let Your Inhibitions Loose
Watch
some influential films on a scenic rooftop, take a tequila shot with jerk
chicken in your other hand or head down to MoMA PS1 for fresh electronic
music.
We aren't sure
what your weekend calls for but we are sure something in our Wild Weekend
Guide will hit the nail on the head. Make sure to explore the timing of the
events so you can attend as many as possible during this wonderfully sunny
summer weekend!
|
Battle of Mau Mau
Test
your inner gladiator by signing up for an authentic battle! If you want to
see a showdown on a secret island in NYC, one that tests stealth and
endurance, you're not in luck. The Battle of Mau Mau is everything previously
described but it's also top secret.
Hosted on an
uninhabitable island in Brooklyn, the only people allowed in are the fighters
themselves. Competitors will complete tests of strength, agility, and stamina
throughout the event. As cool as that would be to see, there are no press
lanes. If you're curious you'll have to attend as a warrior and experience it
first hand.
|
Garments for Everyone
A
ThirdLove pop-up shop is opening in the city and taking aim at one of the
most popular brands around, Victoria's Secret. The co-CEO and co-founder
Heidi Zak, secured in Forbes' list of 100 people transforming business, had
launched the business in order to cater to women who needed a bra that fit
properly and convenience.
ThirdLove's
mission to be inclusive of all bodies, orientations, and identities is one
challenging the standard of beauty that mainstream undergarment companies
haven't been able to shake.
|
Lead Levels in NYC
NYC's
shining exterior doesn't make up for its history. Old pipelines and paint are
undercover and can prove deadly in homes and office spaces. A new interactive
map allows viewers to investigate lead levels in correspondence to median
household income.
The map covers all
5 boroughs and reveals enough to locate a disturbing correlation between
living conditions and wealth. One spot on the map, which you'll be able to
find on your own, had toxicity levels nearly tied with Flint.
