What to do This Weekend: 27th – 29th October
We’re rolling fast toward the weekend and so it’s time to grab a death’s mask and scythe and get Halloween planning!
Sound Bath
Detox from the Weekend
The weekend is for relaxing, but what if your weekend is so hectic that you need to relax from your weekend? That’s where the sound bath comes in and it’s as every bit relaxing as it sounds. Said to be the ultimate antidote to the buzz of city life, Sound Sebastien with Jasmine Hemsley and Toni Dicks, is an hour of being enveloped in the wave of therapeutic tones of Alchemy singing bowls. Tempur foam pillows and lavender eye masks will help induce a meditative state and after you’ll be served herbal teas, a rose, cardamom and toasted gram ladoo and risotto. Turn up and turn off.
Monday 30th October and then every Monday until 27th November
Where: Devonshire Club, 5 Devonshire Square, EC2M 4YD

London Hilton on Park Lane
Podium and Trader Vic's
Suppose you’re trying to piece together the perfect afternoon/evening Halloween combo, where to start? The London Hilton on Park Lane would be a good place. Enjoy a genteel afternoon tea at Podium with Halloweeny options like Witches Hat mini tartlets and Jelly Eyeball miniature fancies and a selection of Twining teas, then head for an evening at Trader Vic’s, where Halloween takes on a tiki theme with Welcome To The Jungle! Guests at the French Polynesian themed bar will find a series of ghoulish nights over Halloween weekend in what they’re dubbing ‘Hallowiki’. With spooky cocktails, table games and giveaways, there’s no hiding in the jungle.

The Perception at W London
New Fashion Bar
Leicester Square’s 5* hotel, W London, is set to launch its brand new bar, The Perception, this Friday. But this isn’t just any bar coming onto the scene, as it celebrates London’s love of design and fashion, and what could be more stylish than sipping on theatrical cocktails and listening to DJ sets in a bold, eclectic setting inspired by the city’s most iconic eras? Conveniently located in the epicentre of London’s creative energy, why not pop in for a pre-theatre tipple?
Opens Friday 27th October
Where: 10 Wardour Street, Leicester Square, London, W1D 6QF, United Kingdom

Death's Door Spirits
Spirits And Spirits
With a name that could have been chosen exactly for Halloween, Death’s Door Spirits are planning a spooky cocktail tour of London? Teaming up with a paranormal expert, the vodka and gin makers will be guiding petrified guests through London’s most ghostly haunts, and with plenty of stops along the way to sample cocktails and nibbles. Seance and paranormal expert Jennifer Melmore will be on-hand to deal with any en-route ghost busting but the real spirits will be Death’s Door’s fantastic wares.

MeatUp
Book Ahead: MeatUp Massacre
How do you fancy feasting on human brain burgers with pickled fingers? Gorging on bone marrow brulee and delving into BBQ’D zombie hearts with hell sauce? There’s been a particularly gruesome massacre at MeatUp in Wandsworth Town (close to The Handbook HQ but safe to say, we’re all fine) and they’ve cooked it up into banquet. The local witch has had her head jellied into a terrine and the devil’s cheeks have been slow cooked. Tasty.
Tuesday 31st October
Where: 350 Old York Road, London, London Borough of Wandsworth SW18 1SS, United Kingdom
