Things to do this week: Craft & Flea Market, Mother's Day at Noshi with a Magician and a Murder Mystery!

In partnership with

Morning! This week is doing a nice job of mixing calm daytime plans with nights that feel a bit more special. St Mary’s is pulling double duty with Hans Zimmer by candlelight on Thursday, then Craft and Flea on Saturday when you’ll pop in for a browse and leave with a tote bag and a new obsession.

Friday is a murder mystery dinner, so you can eat three courses while accusing strangers, and Sunday is Mother’s Day at Nōshi with a set menu, live entertainment, and a magician doing the heavy lifting.

Nōshi is making Mother’s Day feel like an actual occasion with a one day set menu built around a roast style feast, but with their Japanese and Chinese inspired twist. It’s three courses across lunch and dinner, with sharing dishes built for big family tables. They’re dressing the restaurant for the day as well, plus live entertainment and a magician, which means Mum gets the full treatment and you get to look organised. Booking ahead is the smart move, especially for bigger groups.

A live chamber orchestra playing the big cinema soundtrack hits, with a full light setup inside St Mary’s so it feels like a show, not a stuffy concert. The setlist covers Hans Zimmer and the film favourites everyone knows, from Interstellar and Inception to Harry Potter, Star Wars and Jurassic Park. It’s 8 plus, so it works as a family night, and you can pick an early or late sitting depending on bedtime politics.

This is dinner with a storyline wrapped around it, actors in the room, suspects at your table, clues landing mid mouthful, and everyone suddenly acting like they’ve watched every crime show ever made. You’ll question people, argue your case, and try to work out who did it before the big reveal, all while getting fed three courses. Fancy dress is encouraged, so you can either commit or turn up and judge the people who did.
