£25; revolutionary-spirit.com They’ve filled a room with breathable gin and made a giant vibrating jelly (among other things).
Now avant-garde foodies Bompas & Parr are back with an experiential food exhibition to top it all. Taking over a five-storey
Georgian townhouse, these modern-day Willy Wonkas have created a physical food time-line, taking you and your taste buds
on a historical journey. Eat as you walk, taking in four courses as you descend into history, or rise into the future and the
21st-century fascination with molecular gastronomy, with sugar sculptures for dessert. Two-for-one at Pizza Express can wait.
