Blooming lovely
As part of Social Media Week Hong Kong, come get creative at Garden Of Lovely – a giant community garden in the heart of Hong Kong’s concrete jungle. Take some time out for an afternoon of creating and planting in this pop-up laneway garden in Wan Chai, near our new fave coffee spot Amical – so make time for a few cuppas too! This great community event (with a sprinkling of social media of course) will see local artists creating live artwork on-site, symposiums discussing HK’s urban landscape, gardening workshops, live music, interactive art… and tonnes of plasticine to play with too!

When: 23 September, 2pm-8pm
Where: Sun Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
How much: Free!

Mid-autumn getaway
Yes… we’re already excited about the looong weekend heading our way next week – but if you really fancy getting away from it all, it’s not too late to jet off! We’ve got some awesome inspiration for dreamy short-haul destinations with our round-ups of Mid-Autumn getaways and stunning spa stays – and there are some great Sassy savings and special offers to be had too!

I do?
The hugely popular Broadway smash hit, My Big Gay Italian Wedding, is hitting the Fringe Club – and it’s set to be fabulous! Andrew and Anthony are getting married, but everyone from their loud Italian mother to jealous ex-boyfriend wants to “help”… with hilarious results. This music-filled feel-good show might be just the thing to give you an autumn pick-me-up!

Where: The Underground Theatre, Fringe Club, 2 Lower Albert Road, Central, Hong Kong
