HAT-TRICK
M
ake like the tea-slurping, hat-donning eccentrics from Alice in Wonderland (though we’re talking cocktails and top class milliners in this instance) and embrace the eccentricity of headwear at The Tabernacle’s very own Mad Hatters’ Cabaret. Now in its 14th year, the Cabaret combines a breathtaking fashion show with a drinks reception and canapés, with many of the UK’s most skilled designers presenting their latest collections. The show is produced by past supermodel Jane Carlton. Drinks reception starts at 7pm, show 8pm, early-bird tickets £79, tickets £85, including a goodie bag.

CHAMBER OF SECRETS
On the 8 June, artist Adrian Scicluna will launch his project Compression Chamber, an experimental installation including a selection of photographs of the Notting Hill area, gardens and people leading up to the project. Cut-out photographs captured in the city will be installed to form an alternative landscape. Adrian’s work plays on the viewer’s sense of place, mirroring the different aspects of West London. Pictured here is The Man With His Hands In His Pockets, which integrates an image of Earl’s Court. $ 82 Westbourne Grove W2 5RT debutcontemporary.com
