Kraken Rum x London Terrarium Masterclasses at Rhum Tavern

Part botanical craft, part dark maritime folklore this collab is one of the more inspired evenings you'll find in the West End this spring.

Rhum Tavern, home to London's largest collection of rums, has teamed up with London Terrariums for a series of intimate masterclasses rooted in the legend of Kraken Rum. The myth goes that a rum barrel, dragged to the ocean floor by the Beast itself and stained black by its ink, was eventually recovered by pirates, albeit encrusted with moss and flora from the creature's underwater realm.

That image of unexpected beauty emerging from darkness is now the inspiration for an evening of hands-on terrarium making, spiced rum cocktails, and a good story or two. Guests will be guided step-by-step through building their own self-sustaining miniature ecosystem inside an iconic Kraken Rum bottle, using curated plants, mosses and materials provided on the night. Along the way, expect a deep dive into the history of terrariums, from obsessive Victorian plant hunters to their very modern revival.

Your £55 ticket covers all tools and materials, the finished Kraken bottle terrarium to take home, a care guide, and two expertly made Kraken cocktails from an exclusive menu.

Highlights include The Black Wake (coffee-roasted Kraken rum with cold brew), Ruby Depths (spiced rum with cherry, vanilla and citrus) and Cocoa Tempest (chocolate-washed rum and orange soda). Additional cocktails are available at £10 each, and everyone leaves with a secret Kraken gift.

Book now for dates through until June : Wednesday 11th March, Wednesday 15th April, Wednesday 6th May, Wednesday 17th June

Giving visitors the unique chance to eat, drink, and bat, Sixes is the only venue in London to provide cricket simulators with exceptional dining and hospitality. Having re-opened their outdoor offering in Fulham in April, they are now set to launch more sites in the capital.

Co- founded by Mac and Wild’s Andy Waugh and Calum Mackinnon, the venue boasts state-of-the-art batting nets available to hire by the hour. The ultimate immersive experience, it takes the style of Top Golf, Flight Club and Puttshack to new, refined heights and they even offer free kids’ cricket, accepting voluntary donations to the Ruth Strauss Foundation.

Running alongside the fun and games is English gastro-pub inspired food, offering the best of British produce. Options include well-loved classics such as the Sixes sausage roll, prawn cocktail cups with king prawn, baby gem & avocado, Dorset cider steamed mussels creamed with shallots, and Lemon fried chicken with kiev butter dip. There’s also sharing options for those team players, including crispy shredded pork shoulder served with sticky soft buns, rich BBQ gravy & sweet apple ketchup. Of course there is an extensive drinks menu, with craft spirits, drinks and beverages that add the finishing touches to the quintessentially English Sixes experience.

With Fulham re-opening fully from Monday 17th May, the team have announced they will be opening a second location in Fitzrovia on May 26th , with plans to launch two more sites in Manchester and Oxford later in the summer.
