What's On 29 June

Dear Reader,

What do Stella McCartney, Harrison Ford and Sabrina Elba have in common? Well, they’re all stepping up for nature by advocating for THE NAT, nature’s coolest, most stylish new charity. Designed to close the staggering $710 billion nature finance gap – as part awareness campaign, part high-octane fundraiser – THE NAT is rebranding nature as the headline act. As it should be… There are plans for a show-stopping gala in New York this September, and a mission to bring art, fashion, and environmentalism together like never before. Because, as the founder, Gail Gallie, rightly says: ‘nature needs a publicist’. And it’s just scored the best in the business.

Have a great week.

WHAT’S ON MY MIND THIS WEEK

Peak Summer

Wimbledon is in full swing, Henley’s rowing set are donning their boaters, and Glastonbury’s magic is streaming straight to our screens. If you’re not attending any of these in person, fear not – we’ve got guides to help you fake it (or stream it) like a pro.

The Royal & The Streamer

Like his son before him, King Charles is reportedly working on a Netflix documentary. And no, it’s not a riposte to Harry’s laid bare sofa chat with Oprah, but it is a surprising move from the monarch who once called television ‘a ghastly influence’. However, Charles shows once more he’s able to move with the times.

Meet The Chelsea Arts Festival Curator

You’ll be hearing a lot about our new arts festival coming this September, but here we sit down with the curator, Tessa Clarfelt. She shaped Wilderness Festival for over 11 years and launched At Home Farm – a celebrated intimate summer event series featuring artists like James Bay, RY X and Jessie Buckley, so this gives you a hint of what might be coming to Chelsea… I’m very excited.
