Affordable Art Fair Battersea from 14-18 October

Next week, the Affordable Art Fair Battersea swings open its doors, welcoming art lovers, curious creatives and collectors-in-the-making from near and far. Taking place from 14–18 October at Evolution London in Battersea, the fair is set to be a celebration of art, with workshops to get your creative juices flowing and of course, plenty of art to fall in love with.

The Fair will welcome galleries making their Battersea debut, alongside its inaugural Tastemaker programme and a personal edit of artworks selected by Hugo Barclay, UK Fair Director. The Fair also announces the artists selected for its Graduate Showcase, curated by Jo McLaughlin, spotlighting emerging talent at the start of their careers. St-Germain returns as Official Spritz Partner, with cocktails at the Central Bar and an Elderflower Sommelier Experience in the entrance foyer, a glass of fizz in hand while your browse art, what’s not to love!

And because art and a good drink have always made a rather lovely pairing, St-Germain returns as Official Spritz Partner. Expect cocktails at the Central Bar, plus an Elderflower Sommelier Experience in the entrance foyer. Sip, browse, discover… honestly, what’s not to love? Young visitors will get their moment in the spotlight, too. The fair’s programme of family-friendly activities is designed to encourage children to get creative, get curious and, most importantly, get playful with art. There will be a Jet-Pack Workshop with Petit Pli from 10am-12pm, part of the family mornings.

There’s plenty more to explore…

Black History Month - A programme of free, drop-in workshops includes a Thursday zine-making session with Zoe Zine, celebrating Black artists and makers who have shaped Black Britain.

Art & Design to take home - The Fair Bookshop, in partnership with Papercup, welcomes Quarto and Thames & Hudson with a curated selection of art and design books.

After Dark - Art After Dark returns Thursday and Friday (5–9pm), bringing live DJs, complimentary welcome drinks and BHM workshops to the fair.

So whether you’re a seasoned collector, an art-world newbie, looking for your next favourite artist or simply looking for a fun day out surrounded by great art (and perhaps a St-Germain spritz or two), Affordable Art Fair Battersea is the place to be this October.

Address: Evolution London, Queenstown Road, Chelsea Bridge, London SW11 4NJ, UK

The Nest has joined forces with Moët & Chandon for their summer terrace to bring a celebration of Moët Moments, where you can treat yourself to some well-deserved bubbles or cocktails. The beautifully decorated rooftop bar boasts spectacular 360-degree London skyline views, which you can admire whilst being treated to Moët & Chandon.

As you would expect the cocktail menu features some heavenly sublime concoctions with champagne as a key ingredient along with some refreshing sustainable cocktails which include many of your 5 a day. You can rest your weary feet on sumptuous sofas whilst listening to great chillout beats from The Nest’s resident DJ located in their very own treehouse.

As you enjoy the afternoon/evening sun, a mobile oyster shucker will be providing an excellent accompaniment to a fresh glass of champagne, with refreshing lemon and mignonette toppings. Should you fancy a bite to eat, the food menu is just as impressive with a great selection of sharing plates and large plates. The next Moët & Chandon terrace takeover will take place on Thursday 31st of August, for more info. visit – www.treehousehotels.com/london
