If, like BarChick, you like the idea of being chased by a group of around 12 irritable bulls then this is the one for you (BarChick’s dad goes every year)! Whilst wearing a white shirt and trousers with a red neckerchief the aim is to try and slap the bull on the back with a newspaper… but avoid touching the horns or tail as you will offend the locals. Make sure you look where you are running as it’s easy to run into things! Website

If you haven’t got stuck into one of Patty & Bun’s burgers yet, you’re missing out – these guys really know what they’re doing! They’re back for a mini residency at The Endurance… booze and burgers? Hell yeah!

For three days only Bloom gin are bringing the countryside to London, for your own picking experience amongst the buzz of Soho. Pick then enjoy a delicious Bloom gin and tonic. Yes please.

For a couple of days the brasserie Prism is launching the Elysium extravaganza. Expect cabaret, burlesque, circus, dancers, singers and illusion. 3-course dinner, cocktails and post dinner drinks with all that entertainment. It’s a must!

This festival is hot and cool, tick (except for when BarChick went there was some kind of hurricane and her tepee blew away). Chill on the beach by day and party all night to the awesome music. The Stone Roses are headlining and Florence + the Machine will get the crowds going. Hit Spain, you won’t regret it this festival is a whole load of fun. Website

Release your inner Jay-Z for one night only (and every following Thursday if it goes well). Drinks, Hi-Hop and ya mates… Hell yes! More info here.

It’s your last chance to catch award-winning Aussie Sam Simmons, Cariad Lloyd (Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee 2011), Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year winner 2011 Tom Rosenthal (Friday Night Dinner, Chicken Soup with Barley), ‘Buffoon Extraordinaire’ Eric Lampeart and bonkers surrealist John Kearns as your MC…. and it’s all on the top of one of our favourite Dalston Roof top’s! Get there early for a rump steak sandwhich and cocktail. Click here for more info.
