World Theatre Day – Our Favourite Theatrical Memories
Soul-shifting, mood-lifting, bright ‘n’ cheerful, sometimes tearful, deep thinking, piano-plinking: we love London Theatre in all its guises. So let us be the first to wish you a happy World Theatre Day. Our West End experiences put together the most popular shows with slap-up meals. Take, for example, our London Meal and Top Price Theatre for Two. Offering a choice of top-notch favourites such as Chicago, Les Miserables and Mamma Mia!, it goes a step further with top price seats and a tasty pre-theatre two-course meal at one of the nearby restaurants. Be fed and entertained too – the makings of an exquisite outing in the capital. To mark World Theatre Day…

Try a Water Sport in Honour of World Water Day
Water sport is the new IN thing and the industry has enjoyed a titanic jump in popularity over the past few years (see what I did there?). In a study from 2015, 12.4 million people in the UK participated in a water sports activity – this number has surely increased since. It’s no surprise really; many babies swim before they can walk. In recent years, scientists have made advancements into the study of water on human perception. They believe we have something called ‘blue mind’. According to prominent marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols, this is a “Mildly meditative state characterised by calm, peacefulness, unity, and a sense of general happiness”…

What Does Your Cup of Tea Say About You?
It’s no secret we’re utterly fana-tea-cal about Afternoon Tea. And while we’ve carried out extensive research on the way that Brits eat their scones or hold their cup of tea, we’ve never asked the most evocative questions of all: what shade is your tea? And what does that say about you? So, coffee lovers step aside and tea fans step up; allow us to peer into your soul with our fail-safe tea test (patent pending). Take a look at the warming brews below and decide which one best matches your own tea-to-milk ratio preference. Then scroll down to find out what your choice reveals about you, and which of our…

5 Reasons Why Mum is the Best
With Mother’s Day falling on Sunday 11th March (so early this year! Is it in your diary?), it only seems fit we take this opportunity to celebrate mums everywhere. Not only did these wonderful women give us life, but their guidance and influence helped shape us into the people we are today. Who else would teach us that experimenting with hair bleaching ends only in tears or that an apple a day is what keeps the doctor away? For their worldly advice and silly anecdotes to unique little quirks and mannerisms, we wouldn’t have our mums any other way (most of the time ). In anticipation of this year’s occasion, we sent out a survey…

#LiveaLittle: Up at The O2
With 2018 well and truly underway, we have embarked on our mission to make it the year to #LiveaLittle! Forget comfort zones and playing it safe, it’s time to seize the day and jump headfirst into some exciting new activities. This month, I (Red Letter Days’ Sophie) was lucky enough to be sent on my very own #LiveaLittle adventure, swapping solid ground for city heights at Up at The O2. Heights usually send my legs to jelly, so I was slightly apprehensive about the climb, however, excitement outweighed the fear by far. Up at The o2 Since its construction in 2000 to mark the start of the third millennium, The O2…

Love Your Pet Day 2018
If a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, does that apply to pets as well? On Love Your Pet Day, we’re delving into the wonderful world of pet names. According to a survey by Argos Pet Insurance, the top names for dogs in 2017 were Alfie and Poppy. For cats, Charlie and Poppy were most popular. It would seem that human names are very much in vogue. But does that hold true among the pets of the Red Letter Days staff? From the sensible titles to the cutesy monikers, we set out to find out the stories behind the names of your non-human bezzies. And while you’re…
