Always keen to dig out interesting thing to do, we asked our friends over at Hg2 to inform us about the latest trends, as they are always in the know. So, what’s the next big thing you ask us? The concept to remember is ‘unhotels’. Keep on reading to find out more. Over to Hg2…
From El Bulli’s Ferran Adrià to dot-to-dot discos, to the Affordable Art Fair and Virginia Woolf - here’s what we think you should check out this weekend.
Halloween is coming and so, as our culture dictates, we will seek out fake blood, fangs and Dracula cloaks and drink green liquid from test tubes at house parties, watch classic horror movies on channel 5 and fend off oiks from our doorsteps with last year’s Quality Street and tricky questions about political allegiances and the point.
Here at Ooh.com we by no means reject these traditions but feel that the time has come to extend our web this Halloween by seeking out some alternative entertainments.
Tuesday 26th October, 11 Mare St, E1. Doors open 6pm, reading begins at 7pm.
It’s just about that time of year again – the clocks are about to go back (next Sunday 31st, by the way), there’s a crispness in the air and with just enough time before Christmas madness begins, the notion of a countryside mini break springs to mind.
Currently the hottest ticket in town and the best alternative night out - The Secret Cinema has recently announced – in it’s usual furtive manner – that tickets for their next film screening this November 11th – 21st will be going on sale today at 13:00.
Though you won’t actually know what film you will be watching (or the venue) until the last minute (that’s the secret bit) - but you won’t be disappointed - recent screenings have included Laurence of Arabia at Crystal Palace, Blade Runner at Canary Wharf and Ghost Busters at the Royal Horticultural Halls.
This Friday night (15th October), Stoke Place Hotel in Buckinghamshire will play host to one of its infamous country house parties – and we suggest you get your name on the list.
Bal Argentée, a glittering, silver-themed ball, is brought to you from the imaginations of The White Blackbird, planners of the most elegant soirées, and will see space age razzle dazzle collide with vintage glamour.
Sailing the Florida Keys sounds incredibly relaxing, and living on a boat for a week, pretending you’re a more civilised version of Jack Sparrow, sounds even better.
We were very excited when we found out about the Malaysian Night Market taking place in Trafalgar Square a few weeks back, and we’re similarly excited about the Diwali festival celebrations that will be taking place there on the 31st October.
We’ve had tonnes of users coming to us who have fantastic free events or activities they want to promote on the site. Until now, they haven’t been able to because our bookings system required a price. But we just updated it.
Being big fans of everything ‘off the beaten track’ we love an adventurer at Ooh.com.
A favourite adventurer of ours is Alastair Humphreys, who has recently returned from an unsupported crossing of Iceland with his photographer mate Chris Herwig. Carrying 40kg packs containing all of the food they needed, camping gear, and equipment for both glacier crossing and packrafting, Alistair and Chris crossed Iceland, trekking inland from Iceland’s north coast and then paddling the length of Iceland’s longest river to the Southern coast and Atlantic Ocean.
Here Alistair shares with us his top ten highs and lows of their 24 day trip.
1. Discovering that one of the most varied, deserted, beautiful wildernesses I have ever been to is only 3 hours away from London with Iceland Express.
