3[/drapcap]Bridgerton Secretcinema, Wembly
Live out your Bridgerton fantasy at the Bridgerton Secretcinema, where you get to frock up in your Regency finest and hunt for your true love and make your debut into a debauch society. Held in a secret location in Wembley, the event features a ballroom dancefloor with a string quartet playing pop classics. You will have a dance card which you can fill up with partners of choice. If all that sounds like you’re reliving your prom hell, there are side rooms where you can learn life drawing, play cards, train at the boxing club or re-live your favourite on-screen moments with a moving light show.
Dates: From February 15
Time: Tuesday to Sunday
Tickets: From £39
Address: TBA

5[/drapcap]Drink a Margarita
Not that much excuse was needed, but National Margarita Day is Tuesday, February 22 if you need to justify a making – or ordering – the deliciously refreshing beverage. If you need suggestions on where to go, try one of the many cracking London cocktail bars to make this year’s Top 50 Cocktail Bar List, such as Scarfes Bar or The Connaught.
