Sakura at Sticks’n’Sushi
This Easter happened to fall on one of the most mesmerising events of the year – Sakura season. Sticks’n’Sushi is celebrating this year’s Sakura season with a series of stunning Cherry Blossom installations and two brand-new cherry inspired specials.
Available until Sunday 31st March, the limited-edition specials is available throughout all twelve Sticks’n’Sushi UK restaurants.

While Greenwich, Wimbledon, King’s Road, Soho, White City and Kingston captivates guests with their stunning Ikebana displays. Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement that emphasises harmony, balance, and simplicity.
Sunday Roast Coq d’Argent
Coq d’Argent is also introducing something Easter related this weekend – Sunday roast but with a bit of a French touch.
A stone away from Bank station this fine French restaurant is launching a three course Sunday menu for only £35. To our surprise the portions are rather generous, breaking the French stigma for petit dishes while the ingredients are top notch.
The highlights of the menu include garlic snails, venison tartar, oysters along the mains such as beef roast of course, grilled sea trout, Italian veal to name a few.
To round up the dine guests can choose from French classical desserts such as tarte tatin, chocolate fondant or a cheese board for those preferring less sweet.
Located at the top floor guests can choose to be seated inside or as it’s finally warming up there is also a sunny terrace (with heaters just in case) for al frenco dining.
Immersive Experience Balloon Museum
Finally why not pair an Easter meal, roast or afternoon tea with a fun art exhibition? A short walk from London Bridge this immersive experience location offers a whole range of exhibitions including Emotion Air.
Balloon Museum is a format created by a curatorial team that designs and realizes contemporary art exhibitions with specific works in which ‘air’ is a distinctive element.
Art one can touch, to live with and share, never static that creates an innovative relationship with the user, giving life to an experiential path of socialization.
