 | | Heed the call of the countryside | | Maybe it’s the sunny weather right now. Maybe it’s the fact that we’ve now finished everything on The Three Main Streaming Platforms. Maybe it’s the fact that we’ve spent so much time indoors this year, the mere thought of ‘fresh air’ gives us spasms of delight. Whatever the reason: a lot of Londoners are either going camping or talking about how it would be nice to maybe go camping. Hoxton Hotel (the one with all the laptops and flat whites) has, as a result, opened a swish pop-up campsite 90 minutes outside of the capital. For those willing to travel further afield, a very nice new place has opened in Cornwall. Hankering for something a bit more straightforward? Immediately consult our list of the nicest campsites outside of London. Camp on, mates. |

| Incoming: streaming stuff for your diary |  | | 8pm tonight ‘Idiot Prayer: Nick Cave Alone at Alexandra Palace’ | | Fresh from the success of auctioning his socks for charity, the world’s greatest Aus-tro-goth, Mr Nick Cave, is streaming this special one-off concert, filmed this June. The Bad Seeds were supposed to be on tour in 2020, but that got cancelled as brutally as one of ol’ Nick’s creepy protagonists. So, in reflective mood, he set about reinventing all the shouting and crashing about into something more intimate. This concert from Alexandra Palace is the result: just a vast hall, a giant grand piano and a lanky Australian bloke in a too-tight suit and extremely posh footwear. | | The best of the rest: | Until 7pm tonight The National Theatre at Home’s ‘Amadeus’. *Sob* it’s the last streaming production from those cultural saviours of lockdown,
the National Theatre.
10.30am Friday ‘Darwin’s Fossils’. Inspire junior paleontologists with the NHM’s look at how the lushly bearded Victorian naturalist was captivated by his
fossil discoveries.
9pm Friday The Prodigy live at Milton Keynes Bowl. Ten years to the hour after the performance was filmed, see the late, weird, Keith Flint and the lads tear up the place that’s shorthand for ‘dull’.

| Banish back-to-work butterflies |  | | So, you’re heading back to the old office, eh? Pros: located close to a Pret; really friendly receptionist; a place to spend the day that isn’t your living room. Cons: heart-wrenching anxiety relating to re-entering the real world. We spoke to a wellbeing professional about overcoming those troublesome back-to-work nerves. |
