Can you HACK IT?

Dip into downward dog or discover a predilection for paddle boarding at Hackney Festival of Fitness, a three-day sweat-fest on Hackney Marshes. If (like us) you’re more disco than deadlifts, try the drum ’n’ bass workout, Fight Klub. 17-19 May (uk.virginsport.com/event/hackney-2019)

WICK-ED WAY

Keanu Reeves is having a serious moment (if you’ve yet to see his new Saint Laurent campaign, google it ASAP) and he’s back on fine form in John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, the latest instalment of his thriller franchise. This time, he’s joined by deadly assassin Halle Berry and the brilliant Anjelica Huston. Out 17 May

PLATE EXPECTATIONS

Get acquainted with the politics of your weekly shop at Food: Bigger than the Plate, the V&A’s latest must-see exhibition, examining the thorny subject of sustainable eating, from gastronomic experiments to urban farming. Tickets £17. Opens 18 May (vam.ac.uk)

O La LA

It doesn’t get better than Orgasm — the peachy-pink Nars make-up shade, that is. Mind out of the gutter, will you? This Friday, Nars cosmetics is opening a pop-up shop on Brick Lane and a new range of Orgasm make-up with super Naomi Campbell as the campaign face. Expect merry-go-rounds, photo booths and a chance to shop the new collection. 17–19 May (theobynars.com)

UNCOMMON TOUCH

Burnt-out Londoners, rejoice: flexible office space Uncommon is here to transform the way you work. And at the heart of its new space — an über-swish, Scandi-inspired affair on Liverpool Street — is a calming, pulse-activated light installation by Marcus Lyall. Mondays never looked so good. Opens 20 May (uncommon.co.uk)

GROW FOR IT

Drop by for a beekeeping workshop and mug up on your kitchen garden skills at Grow Totteridge, an initiative to turn an empty field into a working farm. Its open day is the ideal chance to flex your green fingers. 18 May, The Totteridge Academy, Barnet Lane, N20 (spacehive.com/growtotteridge)

Last, Bud NOT LEAST
