Walk the red carpet!
Actors Jamie Campbell Bower and Godfrey Gao are coming to Hong Kong for a special screening of hit new film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones – and forget top-secret celeb-only previews, this one is open to everyone! Based on the first of Cassandra Clare’s best-selling series of books and also starring Lily Collins, Kevin Zegers and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, the film sees Jamie take on the lead role of shadowhunter Jace while Godfrey plays fan favourite warlock Magnus Bane.

Go green or go home!
Homemade jam and chutneys, vegan foodie treats, organic skincare products… sounds pretty green-tastic, right? Let’s be honest, committing to healthy living in Hong Kong can be tricky (that detox always seems to be starting tomorrow…) but never fear, local eco-warrior website Green Queen is hosting the Made in HK Pop Up Market – a fab foodie event dedicated to all things eco-friendly! Featuring the best homemade, home-grown and artisanal businesses around town, go grab some lunch from Tai Tai Pie Pies, pick up handmade soap bars from Bathe to Basics, cool down with some scrummy Happy Cow vegan ice-cream (yes, it does exist!) and treat yourself to a loaf or two of chef Gregoire Michaud’s delicious artisan bread and pastries from Bread Elements. With everything from homemade cupcakes to scented candles on offer, make sure you bring a big enough bag (an environmentally-friendly one, of course) to fill with goodies galore!
When: 24 August, 11am-6pm
Where: The Space, 210 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
How much: $20 entry; first 300 people get a free Green Queen reusable shopping bag
Take a trip down South
Magnolia, the Creole and Cajun foodie mecca that won the Sassy Award for Best Private Kitchen this year, is mixing things up and doing away with tables and chairs for the night for a very special dinner party in support of local charity Feeding Hong Kong. Head chef Lori Granito will be whipping up a scrumptious spread of divine canapés and tempting finger foods served with free-flow wine, beer and cocktails, all mixed in with a dash of Magnolia’s classic Southern charm! To help bridge the gap between hunger and food waste in HK, make sure you also bring along at least two food items (like rice, pasta or cooking oil – see the full list here!) for Feeding Hong Kong to distribute to charities throughout the city. Magnolia are hoping to collect 1200 food items by the end of the month (and they want to donate 250kg of rice and pasta themselves!), so let’s be generous ladies!
When: 28 August, 7-9.30pm
Where: Magnolia, 17 Po Yan Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
How much: $288 per person in advance, $350 on the door; email [email protected] to book
