The Haunting of Hill House
Richmond Theatre, until 10 October
One for spooky season!
The Haunting of Hill House takes to the stage in this gripping new production that blurs the line between suspense and the supernatural.
Art & Culture
Exhibition: In Dappled Light
Arty Corner, Wimbledon
Popular gallery Arty Corner presents the first exhibition of Canopy, a recently-formed collective of tree-loving artists. The exhibition celebrates the role that trees play in our lives.
Katherine Hubbard: The Great Room
Studio Voltaire, Clapham
Spanning photography and sculptural installation, this exhibition centres the shifting relationship between a mother and daughter, photographer and subject, to reflect on experiences of visibility, grief and illness.
Family Fun
Malice Returns: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Mayfield Lavender, Epsom
Malice Returns: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a full-sensory adventure combining challenges, hands-on activities, spectacular Halloween effects and dramatic music, with a pick-your-own pumpkin patch.
Food
Sudi
Richmond
This new Puglian restaurant in Richmond is generating lots of buzz. It takes its inspiration from the olive – there’s a ‘press for olive oil’ button on the table, an olive tree growing up through the middle of the room, and a giant olive-shaped dessert. Olive fans rejoice! On the menu there are the usual crowd pleasers such as fritto misto as well as traditional dishes that you don’t see often on Italian menus here such as riso, patate e cozze (rice, potatoes, and mussels).
