It offers its visitors the chance to come along and get to know the brand, experience La Mer and its legendary formulas for yourself. How does a 3o minute miracle broth facial sound? Or perhaps a La Mer mani, or if you’re feeling really adventurous a multi sensory yoga session inspired by the sea. There is a full calendar of activities and treats at your finger tips, so don’t miss out.

Merry Men
A Michelin Star Pop-Up
Restaurant Story has had to close for refurbishment…which means that Tom Sellers has had to be inventive and think of another way he can bring his delicious dishes to the people. This is where the Merry Men pop-up comes where not only Sellers but other guest chefs are invited to take part in a collaborative menu every Wednesday. So there is no need to panic, the Michelin stared restaurant will be closed for a wee while there is still an excellent time to be had, and yummy dishes to be eaten.
