Bringing the pages of witty, intelligent weekly magazine, Stylist, to life, the four-day urban festival is hosted by Edith Bowman and Dawn O’Porter. It’s open until 9pm on Thursday and Friday, so plenty of time to listen in on inspiring talks from Davina McCall, Caitlin Moran, Katie Piper and someone from Sherlock (though sadly not Mr Cumberbatch himself), plus culinary advice from Yotam Ottolenghi, Hemsley & Hemsley and others. You can also attend practical workshops on everything from how to sleep like a baby to launching a business for under £100, watch a live fashion show enjoy gourmet food and drinks and shop over 100 pop-up boutiques handpicked by the Stylist team.

See you there!
