Take a trip to Italy without the airfare

The smell of fresh basil in the air, the feeling of warm sunshine on your face and the sound of crashing waves… all in London.

This Friday there’s a must-visit immersive pop-up event that transports you from Soho to Liguria within the blink of an eye.

Sacla’ is celebrating 25 years since its glorious green pesto first hit our British shores by transforming the Vinyl Factory into an Italian fishing village. It’ll be decked out with cobbled streets, irresistible food and celebrity chefs like Theo Randall and Aldo Zilli. Admittance to this immersive experience is free but you have to book your ticket ahead.

What’s at the event?

Drink something: Fine Italian wine

Learn something: Six pesto masterclasses will run throughout the day

Win something: Enter a competition to win a holiday in Italy

Leave with something: Celebratory goodie bags will be given out (while supplies last)

The event runs from 11am to 9pm on Friday 4 March. Click here for more information.
