Roll up, roll up

Guinean street-dance troupe Cirque Mandinge and scary clown Scottee star at Circusfest, which gathers gymnastic and unusual talent from around the world for a five-week, big-top-style extravaganza, until 29 April at the Roundhouse in Camden, London. Roundhouse.org.uk/circusfest

Share your food

Perfect both for gastronomic show-offs and recipe-hungry cooks alike, Platter is a new free app that lets you share photos of your foodie creations – and get inspiration from other users' dishes. Cook, tag, then tweet. Platter's Twitter feed is @Platterhq

Build your own gallery

Think art collecting is only for the super-rich? Get in on the act with a competition to win a £5,000 starter collection, including works by Jamie Reid, Helmut Newton and Dave White. Culturelabel.com/win

White magic

The 2012 Acne capsule collection has a twist: the womenswear-only range features favourites by the Swedish label from over the years – all reinterpreted in white. The 20 pieces, which start at £70 for a T-shirt, include denim, silk separates and iridescent leather. Available from mid-April at Acne shops as well as Net-A-Porter, Selfridges and Liberty in London. Acnestudios.com

Take a seat

Good news for chair fetishists: the Aram Store has just re-released a 1957 design classic, Hans J Wenger's CH33, which was produced by Danish manufacturer Carl Hansen (hence the name). Choose from beech or oak, with an oiled, soaped or stained finish. £440, aram.co.uk

Tangled up in blue

April marks the beginning of the bluebell season: from now until June, our fields and forests turn violet and indigo – so get out on one of the Ramblers' dedicated Bluebell Walks, anywhere in Britain from the Isle of Wight to Aylesbury. Ramblers.org.uk/walkthemes/bluebells
