Need some inspo? Here are some to get you started…
Catch up with old friends
After lots of hibernation, sometimes all you need is a catch up and yap with your pals. Grab a coffee or matcha at Black Sheep Coffee—it’s £2 on hot/iced drinks on a Monday or 20% off the full menu!
Visit an art gallery or exhibition
Get in your artsy bag and visit an art gallery or exhibition. It’s super easy to see what’s on with a quick Google search, and these are usually free or really affordable. Take some pictures to prove you went, it’s giving *cultured*.
