Pinch, punch, first of the month.

It is the start of February means we are officially 14 days away from St Valentine's Day.

Whether you love or loath the romantic holiday, we've got activities to fill your time with and gifts to treat that special someone to.

The Big Bakes

Why not try something a little different this Valentine's Day.

Baking may appear a daunting task when you observe it on shows like the Great British Bake Off but it really is for anyone to try.

The Big Bakes is all about the fun, creativity, accessibility and taste.

They do all the boring prep, develop amazing recipes and no matter what the experience, they provide a great day out.

Book your place this Valentine's Day at The Castle Tooting here.

Viva La Vulva

This event prides itself on being 'anti-Valentine's Day' and is for everyone out there who is fed up with being told they need to find their other 'half'.

In the workshop you will create a love-letter to yourself and a painted or drawn portrait of self-love.

Using scientific representations of the vulva you will simplify it into lines, colours and shapes, before creating your own bold and beautiful interpretations.

All materials are included.

We use the terms female and womxn in an inclusive sense, meaning any person who can relate to female pleasure and/or owning a vulva.

Tickets can be purchased here.

Unwined Bars

Head to this neighbourhood gem for something a little different.

Make a personalised wine tote with Consuelo, a local artist.

Consuelo will guide you through the workshop and teach you a few painting techniques.

This is the perfect opportunity to treat that special someone to 1.5 hours to a creative outlet.

The event will run February, 12 at 11:00 and you can book your slot here.
