Did we just catch you wondering what to do this weekend? Well, wonder no more. We’ve lined up a Friday testing the recipes of a Michelin-starred chef, a Saturday at London’s answer to Miami Beach and a Sunday sipping sparkling wine and eating giant food. If you’re set on staying in, make sure you turn up our exclusive Hideout Festival playlist by Doorly. It’s up to you.

| | Friday | |  |  |  | | | TRY: | | EAT: | | Adam Simmonds’ The Test Kitchen | | Smoke & Salt | | | We love it when a two Michelin-starred chef opens a culinary playground around the corner from UJHQ. Say hello to Adam Simmonds’ new pop-up, The Test Kitchen (nestled into Barrafina’s former spot on Frith Street). There’s no set menu, and it’ll be ever-evolving based on diners’ feedback. Get in ASAP.
| | After saying a sad farewell to Kricket’s Pop Brixton location, this weekend we welcome its replacement: Smoke & Salt. Migrating from its pop-up at Islington’s Chapel Bar, Smoke & Salt’s unique small plates focus on curing, smoking and preserving. We can’t wait to try the lamb merguez tartare, chicken with truffle ponzu and hispi cabbage with pickled peanut.

| | As part of the opening of their unmissable Summer Exhibition, the RA are throwing a psychedelic summer solstice party in their courtyard.

| | Sunday | |  | |  | | | DRINK: | | GO: | | Nyetimber Garden Bar | | Giant Sundays at Giant Robot | | | Forget prosecco, this summer we’re all about English sparkling wine. If you’re a fan, make sure you head to Nyetimber’s pop up Garden Bar in the Covent Garden Piazza. All throughout June, they’ll be serving up their signature tipples against a floral backdrop taken from the Chelsea Flower Show garden ‘500 Years of Covent Garden’. Drink up.
| | If you’re stuck for a plan this Father’s Day (or just hungry) head to UJ’s fave street food spot Giant Robot for Giant Sundays. Each Sunday, the stalls go supersize; everything gets bigger, except for the price. Double up on Yum Bun, try the weekend-only Little José Tapas Tray, or get a double helping of BOB’s Lobster Eggs Royale, with a free mimosa. Arrive hungry.
| | | | All throughout June,
Covent Garden Piazza,
