| | V&A, Friday Late | | | Sponsored Listing | |  | | | Bread, dosh, dough. Whatever name you give it, it is hard to define our relationship with money. As the new 12-sided £1 coin enters circulation, the V&A delves into your wallet to trace the history of money, the challenge of counterfeit and attempts at alternative economies. Visit the V&A on Friday 31 March from 18.30 – 22.00 for the original free contemporary late night event and explore the curated programme of live performances, workshops, installations, talks, films and DJs, with bars, food, and late-night exhibition openings.

Offal Mondays at Smoking Goat | | | Nose-to-tail eating has been all the rage for awhile now, so head to Smoking Goat’s offal Mondays for an intrepid introduction to lesser-known ingredients, cooked to Thai perfection by co-founder Ben Chapman and head chef Ali Borer. The menu changes weekly, but expect dishes like suckling pig liver nam tok, Makassar style beef cheek and spicy fried lamb kidney nam prik pao, paired with the perfect wine.

| EAT:
Pitt Cue x som saa | | | This collab has got us seriously excited at UJHQ. For this month only, som saa have teamed up with their neighbours Pitt Cue for a menu swap; each creating a limited edition guest dish that reflects their signature flavours to feature on the other’s menu. Plus, a donation from each dish goes to charity. Sounds like a no brainer. The question is, which one are you going to try first?
| | | Available at both Pitt Cue and som saa throughout the month of April

The Handmaiden at the Barbican | | | Acclaimed South Korean director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance) returns to our screens this month with a new film; an adaptation of Sarah Waters’ novel, Fingersmith, entitled The Handmaiden. It’s a twisty psychological thriller that’s sure to pull you in; catch it at the BFI between 14-20th April.

Techno heavyweight Paul Kalkbrenner heads up his 90s throwback party Back to the Future there on 29th April – book tickets now so you don’t miss out.

The American Dream: Pop To The Present | | | The British Museum’s latest exhibition takes a look at the past six decades of American history through the eyes of the world’s most celebrated American artists, including Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Starting off with 1960s pop art, it focuses on the museum’s incredible collection of prints, and explores how they took precedence over paint and sculpture throughout the years.
