Westfield cinema at Night Market
Perks Field near Kensington Gardens Make sure you’re both hungry if heading to this one. At Night Market and its open-air cinema you can enjoy up to 50 London street food vendors have to offer – flavours from all over the world all gathered in one place – an international gourmet tour, in other words. And when you are full, happy and ready for another round – catch a flick at the Westfield open-air cinema. For 12 days you can enjoy a great choice of movies sitting in a deckchair, sipping a cocktail with wireless headphones to “La-la-land” and classics such as “Notting Hill” Bliss.
Wakeboarding at Box End Park
Box End, Kempston, Bedford MK43 8RQ
If you and your date can’t sit still or you’re both water babes at heart then head to Box End Park. Try your (webbed) feet at aqua-park, water-skiing, wakeboard sessions and once you’ve worked up an appetite, hit the lakeside bar and restaurant for some well earned refreshments.
