| Stuff for you to do this week | | An arty party is coming to Tate Modern | Museum lates: remember them? The one night a month when we were given permission to get drunk in London’s hallowed cultural institutions. So you don’t miss out, Tate Modern has taken its after-dark events online. This Thursday, watch a stream of Yorkshire brass master Emma-Jean Thackray and Global Roots founder Thristian respond to Bruce Nauman’s Tate exhibition. Down a glass of warm white wine at the same time and it’ll be almost as good as the real thing. | The best of the rest: | Sit down tonight Head to industrial-style venue Night Tales on Thursday to see Horse Meat Disco make a triumphant (albeit toned-down and seated) post-lockdown return. Festive first Selfridges has opened its first open-air Christmas market. From Wednesday, tuck into food from trucks curated by Street Feast and fill your bags with festive fare. Eat up The easing of lockdown on Wednesday means London’s restaurants will be opening up again. Celebrate by booking a table at one of the city’s best. Check out our full list of the best events, updated every day. |
