Theatre
Abigail’s Party
Rose Theatre
A new production of Mike Leigh’s cult classic comedy!
Beverly, the queen of suburbia, is hosting a cocktail party. Next door, 15-year-old Abigail is throwing a party of her own. No one can stop talking about Abigail’s Party. No one can stop thinking about Abigail’s Party.
Community fun
Farmers’ & Craft Market
The Priory, C of E Primary School, Wimbledon, 9 November
Shop local food produce, including butchers’ cuts and honey, as well as handmade crafts, candles and local gin! You can also enjoy hot food and coffee, and treats for the kids. Money raised from hosting goes directly to the kids’ facilities. This Saturday there’s a scavenger hunt with the chance to win a free pizza or cinema tickets!
Food
Harwood Arms
Fulham
It’s Great British Game Week this week, and this Fulham landmark is truly the home of game: director Mike Robinson makes three wild game TV shows a year for the Outdoor Channel, and his company Deer Box supplies wild venison to restaurants managed from 60,000 acres of land. The menu of the Harwood Arms reflects such dedication to all things game, and this autumn they’re serving up Berkshire fallow deer with beetroots, kalibos cabbage and bone marrow as well as a starter of chestnut soup with a wild boar sausage roll with mushroom and tarragon.
Shopping
Elys Christmas Shopping Party
Wimbledon, 8 November
Elys Wimbledon are hosting a fabulous Christmas shopping party on Friday, with 20% off almost everything in store for Rewards customers. There’ll be fizz and sweet treats from 12pm, along with a visit from Father Christmas, pancakes and waffle sticks, face painting, caricature drawings and special personal style sessions with Elys Personal Stylist Helen Canning!
Music
Michael Ball & Alfie Boe
Banquet Records, Kingston, 8 November
To celebrate the release of the new album Together At Home, Michael Ball & Alfie Boe return to Kingston for an exclusive performance of selected tracks from new album – plus a Q&A at Pryzm!
