Theatre
Sleuth
Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford
Last shows on 27th April! This dark, psychological ‘thriller about thrillers’ makes for an intriguing study of human conflict, jealousy, and manipulation. Proving to be far more than a ‘whodunnit’, it promises to baffle even the most proficient sleuth.
Food
Roxie Steak
Putney
A delightful steak restaurant serving up steaks from primarily the Pampas Regions of Uruguay, from a mix of grain and grass fed cattle. You can choose from picanha, sirloin, fillet, rump and ribeye as well as the new, crowd-pleasing Butcher’s Cuts.
Music
St John’s Lunchtime Concert
St John’s Baptist Church, Wimbledon
26 April
With Laura Moisey-Gray on viola and Shiya Liu on piano, Friday’s lunchtime concert features Schumann Märchenbilder, Op. 113, Schubert Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D. 821 and Kreisler Praeludium and Allegro.
Art & Culture
Thomas Pausz: Haunted Ecologies
Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston
Officially open this weekend, Haunted Ecologies intersects the research fields of media, ecology, and ‘hauntology’ to propose immersive installations echoing the transformations of local ecosystems surrounding Stanley Picker Gallery.
Outdoor fun

Until 29 April
Henry VIII’s famous home bursts into colour with over 100,000 bulbs at the annual Hampton Court Palace Tulip Festival. There is a dramatic array of colours, patterns and specially designed planting schemes to explore.
