Time & Leisure’s very own Lucy Kane will be featuring on the ‘What Is Sustainable Fashion?’ panel with local sustainable business owner Sakina O’Neil and Royal Trinity Hospice’s Nicola Jibson at 1pm!

Theatre
War Horse
New Wimbledon Theatre
This powerfully moving and imaginative drama is a show of phenomenal inventiveness, filled with stirring music and songs, and featuring ground-breaking puppetry work.
Food
Fiume
Battersea
Overlooking the Thames at Circus West Village, this light, bright contemporary Italian is one of the best Battersea restaurants. There’s a large Mediterranean style terrace with riverside views – great for summer brunches and lunches or cosy evenings under blankets under the heaters. Inside, expect Calabrian fare, excellent pastas and modern Italian cooking at its best.
Music
Martin Stephenson
The Half Moon, Putney, 7 September
A delightful afternoon show on Saturday. Martin Stephenson, the poet and lead singer of The Daintees, will be bringing a solo show to The Half Moon, featuring songs old and new and stories both sad and hilarious.
Art & Culture

Family Fun
