Cocktails in the City returns to London
Bedford Square Gardens is playing home to Cocktails in the City on the 28th & 29th July where 25 of the most inventive cocktail bars from across the capital will come together in pop-up form, all with the goal of being awarded ‘best bar’ at the end of the event. Whether you want to try your hand behind the bar, try new and exotic flavours or simply want to relax and take in the atmosphere with live music and the G&T Ice Cream Parlour, there is always something happening that everyone will enjoy.

Sprout at Harvey Nichols
Duck & Waffle’s Dan Doherty has launched the pop-up supper club ‘Sprout’ on Harvey Nichols Fifth Floor Terrace. For 4 nights only, guest will receive a sipsmith cocktail with accompanying snack on arrival; as well as sharing plates to start and then a hearty main course that captures traditional British flavours and whilst the full menu details have not been released to the public, dessert is a modern twist on a British classic.
Sprout has collaborated with many local florists to ensure the restaurant is ‘adorned with loads of gorgeous plants and pottery’ with everything from plants to the crockery being available to buy (brand new ones of course!)

The event space makes celebrating, in particular weddings, especially romantic and breathtaking. whether you want intimate ceremonies in the lush gardens or grand ballroom receptions, there is something to keep every guest satisfied.
