Eve Academy’s open day
Ever watched Netflix’s ‘Glow’ and thought: I could do that? Well, now’s your chance. Eve Academy, London’s school of women’s wrestling, is holding its first open day where you can learn the ropes.

Biriyani bowls
Spice up your lunch plans at Mrs Fogg’s Maritime Club & Distillery, which is launching an express lunch menu. Sample it from noon this Wednesday – there will be 200 free biryani bowls (chicken or jackfruit) up for grabs. Mrs Fogg’s Maritime Club & Distillery. Tube: Liverpool St. Wed Mar 20.
Free gin and tonic
This Wednesday is ‘Cucumber Currency Day’ at Young’s pubs, which means you can get a Hendrick’s gin and tonic on the house. Use the Young’s on Tap app to ‘download a cucumber’ (no, we’re not sure either), then show it to the bartender. Cheers! Various locations. Wed Mar 20.

Lacking motivation to exercise? Define London is offering free barre classes which promise to boost your energy levels.
