Theatre
Dear Evan Hansen
New Wimbledon Theatre, until 29 March
Meet Evan: an anxious high school kid who wants nothing more than to fit in. The thing is, on his way to fitting in, he didn’t tell the whole truth. And now must give up on a life he never dreamt he’d have. As events spiral and the truth comes out, Evan faces a reckoning with himself and everyone around him.
Food
Azzura
Chelsea
Azzurra, which opened in autumn 2023, is restaurateur David Yeo’s take on high-end Italian, with dishes inspired by the food of Sicily and the Amalfi Coast. The menu is overseen by executive chef Andrea Mura and features British fish and seafood, where possible, all served with that wonderful lightness of touch you get in Italy. Enjoy everything from ‘crudo’ dishes like red mullet set on a bagnetto verde sauce to mains of red octopus pasta and roast seabrea
Days out
Still the Hours
Hampton Court Palace
Visitors can experience Hampton Court Palace like never before through Still The Hours, an audio-led exploration of the palace after dark. Wander the palace’s darkened halls in intimate groups guided by a richly layered soundscape that brings women of the past to life.
Wimbledon International Quilters Exhibition
Mansel Road Centre, Wimbledon
See an exhibition from Wimbledon Quilters, with a collection of interesting handmade quilts on offer for you to peruse. £5 entry in aid of Birdshot Uveitis Society and Dementia UK.
Music
Kingston Choral Society
29 March, Cadogan Hall
Kingston Choral Society will be singing Brahms Requiem & Poulenc Gloria, alongside two of the brightest stars of the British singing firmament, Sophie Bevan and Roderick Williams, in a programme suffused with musical colour and profound emotion.
