The R&R Pop-Up

The R&R Pop-Up

This month we’re putting our best foot forward by transforming Carousel Seven Dials into The R&R Pop-Up – four days of health, wellbeing and handy life hacks for making those new year’s resolutions stick… We’ve partnered with our friends at BOL Foods, Penguin Random House and Qured to bring you a series of talks, Q&As and workshops to help you blow away the cobwebs and start 2020 as you mean to go on.

All proceeds for ticket sales go to Mind Mental Health Charity.

The Bookshop

Here you can browse a selection of titles from Penguin Life, a collection of books to help you live well, written by world-leading experts in their fields.

We will also be hosting a number of talks on health and wellness over the four days. Hear from Dr Andrew Jenkinson, consultant surgeon and author of Why We Eat Too Much. During this hour chat Andrew will be speaking about how the modern environment can be misinterpreted by the body as signs of an impending famine, which can in turn make the body gain weight. We will also be joined by Jillian Lavender, Director of The London Meditation Centre who will be sharing the most important principles of a meditation practice – ease and effortlessness. 

The R&R Café

Found a good book? It’s time to find a quiet corner and order one of our homemade blends of organic teas from our R&R Café.

The ideal hang out for a quick sit down before the next talk begins, we will be serving healthy snacks and teas made by our talented team of chefs. For breakfast our pals at Coconut Collaborative will be serving yoghurt with various toppings. In the afternoon we’ll have a BOL plant based salad bar to chow down on. We can practically feel those holiday pounds shedding already.

Everybody’s welcome. All we ask is that you put those phones on silent. We can all do with a digital detox…

The Rebalance Studio

Meanwhile we’re holding a series of classes downstairs to help you to relax your body and nourish your mind. There are talks from Skin & Beauty Doctor, Dr Johanna Ward, and the Director of BOL, as well as yoga, pilates, gong baths and a line up of exercises that are fun and welcoming by Refinery Studio.

We’re also joined by our friends at Qured, the handy app that enables you to book affordable doctor and physio appointments at home or at work, at a time that suits you. They will be dispensing advice on how to stay well this winter, as well as running an interactive clinic on good posture and keeping healthy while sitting at your desk.

What’s On

On the ground floor we’ll have a curated selection of self care and wellbeing focussed books for you to browse along with our pop-up cafe. There will be a choice of healthy snacks and our homemade teas & kombucha available throughout the day. In the mornings (8am-10am) Coconut Collaborative will be sorting our breakfasts with a breakfast bar with yoghurts and various toppings. At lunch (12pm-2pm) BOL Foods will be joining us to serve up some tasty plant-based salads. We can practically feel those holiday pounds shedding already.

The bottom floor will be packed full everyday with motivating classes, inspiring talks and relaxing therapies for you to enjoy. All we ask is for a £2 donation that goes to our charity of choice, MIND. For timings and descriptions, see the timetable below.
