Fashion lovers are going to lose their heads over the V&A’s big autumn 2025 exhibition, focusing as it does on the sartorial tastes of one of history’s most notable bonce droppers. 'Marie Antoinette Style' will look at Marie Antoinette, the French queen who was put to the guillotine in 1793 during the French Revolution, and her enduring impact on fashion, design and culture, as well as ‘the origins and countless revivals of the style shaped by the most fashionable queen in history’.

An extravagant exhibition about Marie Antoinette is coming to the V&A next year

Playwright Barney Norris returns to his favoured London base the Arcola with a doubtless delightfully bittersweet new drama about… a band that gets back together. Salisbury natives Joe, Ross and Emily reform their old combo for one night only for a benefit gig in their post-skripal, post-Covid hometown. Chords are played and feelings are delicately negotiated in this new play with live music, which is directed by Norris.

The Band Back Together

Amy Gledhill’s second solo show won the main comedy award at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. As such this brief initial Soho Theatre stint for her widely praised set revolving around questions of body image is pretty damn sold out, though you might get lucky with a return. Otherwise remember the name as she’s sure to be back for a longer run soon (and has a date at Leicester Square Theatre in November).

One of the most beautiful parts of living in a digital age is how easy it is to find people who love the same things as you. It no longer matters if you’re the only fan of tap-dancing-frog cartoons in town, you can head online and find your community of like-minded amphibifans. Likewise, if you can’t get enough of really old trees but are yet to discover anyone who shares your passion, we’ve got some great news.

These are all the shortlisted trees for Tree of the Year 2024

The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) has announced that it will issue the Standby Signal No. 1 this afternoon (Sept 3), likely between 5pm and 8pm. This precaution comes as Tropical Cyclone Yagi approaches, situated over 600 kilometres away from Hong Kong at the time of writing. As of 10 am,...

The Brutalist is a major work of art that asks something from its audience but gives back in spades. Weighing in at a meaty 210 minutes, complete with an old-school opening overture and a 15-minute intermission, it’s like a trip to the pictures circa 1962. It’s even been compared with The Godfather, a parallel that would crush a lesser film like a tin can.

The Brutalist

A man so virtuosically witty he has an adjective named after him, the opening scene of Tom Stoppard’s ‘The Real Thing’ is Stoppardian to the point of parody. We meet a waspishly witty husband - Oliver Johnstone‘s Max - who barrages his wife Charlotte (Susan Wokoma) with inane but aggressive queries about her recent work tip abroad before casually revealing that he found her passport and she couldn’t have been in Switzerland – she has clearly been having an affair.

The Real Thing

While we love the buzzing metropolis that is our dear Melbourne, sometimes we all need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, and where better to escape than the coast?. Less than a two-hour drive from Melbourne, the Bass Coast is a mesmerising combination of unspoiled coastline,...

Declutterbuzz

Overwhelm is a word I often hear folks say regarding decluttering. Decluttering does not have to be overwhelming. When you Declutter For Life the process is not stressful. You won't clear the chaos overnight, but with patience and effort, you can build a space—and a life—that feels calm and organized. For busy young working moms who've tried and failed, understanding that decluttering is a gradual process rather than a quick fix can change everything. Let me explain.

How To Declutter For Life, Not For a Quick Fix!

Las Vegas, NV

Food Network chef Esther Choi will show off her Korean cooking skills when she opens Mokbar (which has three locations in New York City) in Las Vegas this fall. While there are still plenty of great buffets in Las Vegas, the food hall has become a worthy, sometimes upscale alternative for those looking for a quick bite on the Strip. Choi bringing Mokbar to the Forum Food Hall at Caesars Palace is evidence of just that.
