Future Cinema: Precious
You can’t help but be moved by the way that everyone is making an effort to raise money for Haiti. And the first fundraising event in this weekend’s guide is a late night screening organised by Future Cinema – some of the chaps behind the original Secret Cinema – of Precious. Already causing quite the controversy around the world, Precious is a beautiful if emotional rollercoaster of a movie. And at £5 per seat with proceeds going to Fairbridge, if you think might ever catch this film, then there’s no better time.

High Tea at HUNter 486
After a month’s soft launch, Marble Arch’s latest hotel – punningly entitled The (wait for it) Arch – is now officially–officially open. Based around seven Georgian townhouses, the design is pretty tasty. But what really tickles our proverbials is the ground floor bar/resto HUNter 486 and the perfect little high tea they serve in their Martini Library, complete with bubbles, all for an impressive £24.50. For a faster fix, the £10 Audrey Saunders–influenced Earl Grey Marteani served with an Earl Grey and chocolate éclair might just be the perfect post-shopping pamper.

Basement Jaxx
If you were even a fraction as excited about Basement Jaxx’s last album as we were last year then chances are that this is already on your radar. But just on the off chance that it isn’t and you still fancy a cracker of a night out with the Jaxxers, then you better get yourself down to Plan B pronto, as its door–tickets only now and we're betting they’ll shift like hot cakes. But if you can’t manage that, then keep your eyes peeled for Felix Buxton’s set round the corner at Jamm on Feb 6th – both are bound to be incredible.

Poetry Live
The second of this weekend’s Haiti–fundraising events is spearheaded by the wonderful Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy. Bringing together a stunning array of literary talent including the likes of Roger McGough, Andrew Motion and Owen Sheers, the event offers an unprecedented opportunity to hear 20 of our leading poets while simultaneously giving something to those who need it, with all ticket proceeds going to the Disasters Emergency Committee and their Haiti Earthquake Appeal.

Phaidon Warehouse Sale
Over the last ten days, the visual bibliophile’s heaven that is the Phaidon pop-up on King’s Road has been shifting thousands of their inimitable art/architecture coffee-table tomes and Wallpaper City Guides with up to a 70% discount. Today, however, is your last chance to invade and stock up on their gorgeous offerings. And at those kind of prices and that kind of product range, you can’t really go wrong. Besides, it’s Valentine's Day around the corner, so while you're there… Oh, and Easter. And his/her birthday. And Christmas. And…

Reverb: Katie and Marielle Labeque
I must admit a recurring sense of the uncanny whenever I catch the renowned Labeque sisters in performance. Sure they're not identical, but watching the two of them play the intricate duets that have earned them such fame, I always expect them to rise after as an evil, alien conjoined twin with one body, two heads and four terrifyingly nimble hands between them. But then, I have a strange imagination. For everyone else, of course, this is a great opportunity to catch two incredible pianists making impassioned, light work of some fantastic pieces of music. Just don't be shocked if they try to invade afterwards.
