Find the one at this wedding-themed singles night - London

Grab a plus one and throw on your favourite frock (if you’re sure it won’t upstage the bride) as you get ready to meet prince charming at wedding-themed dating event - I Fucking Date London.

Park up at an old-school drive-in cinema - Brighton

If you’ve always been jealous of American teens and their drive-in cinemas, the moment to make up for lost time has finally arrived. Cinestock is the world’s first indoor (yes, indoor) drive-in cinema, taking place in a dramatic barn setting that’s even better than sitting under the stars. They’re screening everything from psychological thrillers to Bridesmaids, and other than creating a mega movie line-up, they’ve made refreshments a top priority by giving guests the option to order food and drinks straight to the car.
