A Day On The Lane: Marylebone Village to host vibrant shopping and dining festival

The event is being organised by Marylebone Village and aims to showcase the area’s independent shops, world-class restaurants and cafés in a fun, relaxed setting. It will also support the Young Westminster Foundation, a local charity that works with partners across the borough to provide opportunities and support for young people.

Workshops and Creative Experiences

Visitors will be able to try their hand at a range of workshops, designed to encourage creativity and skill-building in a friendly, beginner-friendly environment. Bayley & Sage Abode will host flower arranging classes (£44pp), where participants can work with seasonal blooms to create their own arrangements. A flower pot painting workshop (£27pp) offers the chance to decorate terracotta pots in bright, playful designs, while PLATFORM will run knitting classes (£16.95pp) for those looking to pick up a new hobby. PLATFORM will also host an embroidered mending workshop (£22.38pp), teaching the art of visible repair through colourful stitching techniques.

Dining in the Open Air

Food and drink will be central to the day. Several of Marylebone Lane’s best-loved restaurants will extend their seating outdoors, including St. JOHN with its renowned “nose-to-tail” menu, Delamina with Eastern Mediterranean flavours, and The Ivy serving modern British classics. KOIBIRD’s nutrition café, KOI.11, will also join the festivities with fresh, vibrant options. At 108 Brasserie, guests can enjoy a terrace closing party with complimentary tasters such as gnocchi and mini lobster rolls for those with a booking.

To add to the atmosphere, live music will be performed throughout the day outside venues including 28-50, Larry King and The Ivy, ensuring the lane is filled with energy and entertainment.

Street Food and Pop-Up Bars

Street food stalls and pop-up bars will line the lane, bringing even more flavour to the celebration. Mexican favourite Cavita will serve mezcal cocktails and skewers, while Lina Stores offers aperitivo bites and cocktails. Italian restaurant Caldesi will mix Aperol Spritz, and Le Relais de Venise will pour champagne.

Local pubs will also join the fun: The Coach Makers Arms will team up with Harbour Brewery to offer roast beef and lamb buns alongside beer tastings, while The Golden Eagle partners with St Austell Brewery for a Korev pop-up bar.

Wellness on the Lane

Those looking for a moment of calm can head to classes hosted by premium health club Third Space. A 10am Breathwork session will be followed by an 11am Soundbath class, both complimentary and lasting 45 minutes. Participants will also be treated afterwards to a complimentary smoothie at The Ivy, plus access to the members’ suite at Rebase with use of the ice bath and Finnish sauna. Pre-booking is advised, as spaces are limited.

Retail Highlights and Special Offers

The area’s boutiques and independent retailers will also play their part. Jewellery brand Dinny Hall will offer discounts and live demos from award-winning jeweller Sam Holmes, while Larry King will hand out complimentary ice cream alongside a spin-to-win competition for haircare products. British label O Pioneers will run a Liberty-print card-making activity, and shoemaker Tracey Neuls invites visitors to try Korean shoe candy cutting for a chance to win prizes.

At PLATFORM, guests can learn about chakra stones and have gems custom-engraved, while KJ’s Laundry will collaborate with floral artist Lucie Gordon to create artworks outside the store, alongside a 20% in-store discount.

With its blend of food, drink, culture, wellness and shopping, A Day On The Lane promises to be a vibrant community celebration, offering something for everyone to enjoy. The full programme of activities will be announced closer to the date.
