Get Your Festival Fix With Live At Chelsea

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show may be a fond memory once more, but the summer season is far from over at Royal Hospital Chelsea. The historic space has transformed into a venue for classical and crossover music in the form of Live at Chelsea, a concert series that is quickly becoming a staple in London’s music festival scene – and it’s kicking off today. The Proclaimers, The Beach Boys, Blue and more are set to take over one of London’s most distinguished institutions’ formal grounds and cloisters from today until Sunday. A stone’s throw from the River Thames, expect golden light across the lawns as the sun sets, riverside breezes and the idyllic glow of Wren’s 17th-century architecture. The festival draws a cultured, older demographic, and there’s more of a garden party feel than a traditional concert. As such, you can also add hospitality BBQ experiences to your ticket. 10–14 June 2026 at Royal Hospital Chelsea. Book at liveatchelsea.com

Psssst…

The Bamford family-owned Château Léoube winery in Provence has achieved B Corp status. Certified organic in 2010 and High Environmental Value (HVE) in 2020, the 70-hectare vineyard has long been committed to biodynamic principles and conscious farming. As Carole Bamford says, this new accolade ‘reinforces our longstanding commitment to sustainable viticulture: nurturing the soil, preserving artisan traditions, protecting our terroir and above all, working in harmony with nature.’

Whatever You Do, Don’t

Put your tomatoes in the fruit bowl, says Emma Joslin, Technical Manager at Sainsbury’s. ‘Tomatoes release ethylene, which is a plant hormone that plays an essential role in the ripening process,’ she explains. ‘As such, you should keep tomatoes away from other fruits such as bananas and avocados, unless you are actively trying to speed up their ripening.’ Do make the most of them right now, though: British tomatoes are currently at their seasonal peak.
