The Weekender: Five events you don't want to miss in the UK

Sure, summer isn’t quite on our doorstep just yet, but our weekend events calendar is certainly heating up already. How do spicy wings on the rooftop at 180 House sound? Or a cabaret performance in the countryside, courtesy of The Cocoa Butter Club? 

Whatever you’re in the mood for, we’ve got you covered. Scroll down for all of the action.

1. Soulful Sundays: Wing Shack at 180 House 
BBQ wings and warm weather go hand in hand. So, you’ll be pleased to hear that Wing Shack is hosting a pop-up on the ninth floor at 180 House. Tangy buffalo, honey and sesame, mango mazzaline – enjoy these and more. It’s all part of Soulful Sundays, a new dining experience that showcases the most exciting Black-owned restaurants and chefs in the UK. Food is served with the best jams in town, then head down to the bar later for Picante Hour to round off the night.

2. Soulful Sundays: Ahomka takeover at Shoreditch House 
Calling all east Londoners. Ahomka lands at Shoreditch House this Sunday and is bringing you Ghanaian dishes with a modern twist. Think garlic and chilli prawns scattered with chilli, sweet and sticky honey-glazed chicken wings or a slow-cooked black-eyed bean stew, all to be enjoyed with views of the city. Tastebuds tingling yet? Ours are – get booking.

3. House Party with Sonny Rooney at White City House
