More things to do in London this week

With thanks to Country and Townhouse:

Dear Reader,

Some exciting news from C&TH HQ this Sunday. We are launching a brand new arts festival in Chelsea this September. Working in partnership with Cadogan, we will be bringing page, stage and screen to life in an immersive extravaganza. Think Wilderness festival but in the city – a wonderland of cultural hedonism, no less. Excited? Us too. The new Chelsea Arts Festival will bring you an exceptional programme of events, panel talks and performances across key locations, plus everything from secret supper clubs to summer sundowners in Sloane Square. Sign up here to be the first to find out more… and very much watch this space.

Have a great week.

WHAT’S ON MY MIND THIS WEEK

How To Master Your First Pull-Up

This is for women, because I don’t know about you, but a pull up (like press ups – at least for me) seem to be a fitness holy grail (I can’t ever do them!). Why are they so damn hard? My colleague Ellie – who also happens to be a personal trainer – reveals all.

The Western Is Dominating Our Screens

Done Yellowstone and its spin offs 1883 and 1923? Have you squinted through fingers at the gruesome brutality (but brilliance) of American Primeval? Are you immersed in Sheridan Taylor’s latest explosive Western drama Landman? The Western, whether historic or contemporary, seems to be the genre that keeps on giving.

Bridget Jones Is Back

And again we get to see London on the big screen. We’ve recently been spoilt with both Black Doves and We Live in Time giving our glorious capital some much-deserved screen time. This time, our hapless Bridget has swapped Borough for Hampstead.

FIVE THINGS NOT TO MISS

Coldplay fans: take a trip to one of Lightroom’s venues to see a special immersive screening of their new movie, A Film For The Future.
