Word on the street

The best street food vendors all in one place, Realfood Festivals comes to London's South Bank this Friday. Running throughout the Easter Weekend, the festival is a celebration of the capital's "smorgasbord of sights, smells and flavours". Feast on paella, pani puri and traditional French crêpes while watching the Thames go by. 29 March to 1 April, realfoodfestival.co.uk

Top table

Furniture makers Theodore Alexander make beautiful pieces rooted in English heritage which have just enough modernist flair. The Raindrop is one of the best in their current collections – an organically-styled occasional table handcrafted from ofram wood. £1,305, Brights of Nettlebed, nettlebed@brights-interiors.com

Stick your neck out

The wedding season is just around the corner, which for chaps means a rare excuse to wear a bowtie. A style item ridden with pitfalls, we advise you put yourself in the capable hands of Vivienne Westwood, who has made a bowtie featuring the rose print that is at the heart of her spring/summer collection. There's also a necktie in the same pattern – but be bold. As Doctor Who says, bowties are cool. £55, viviennewestwood.co.uk

Do it in the dark

At 8.30 this evening the lights go out for the World Wildlife Fund's annual Earth Hour. From Piccadilly Circus to Times Square, the big switch-off is a truly global gesture of support for efforts to protect the planet by switching to renewable energy sources. Why not join in? earthhour.wwf.org.uk

All sett?

Easter is only a week away – for a change this year, why not bin the bunnies and tuck into a chocolate badger? Handmade by the excellent Bettys of Harrogate, each badger's coat is individually hand-brushed by expert chocolatiers from the family business. Order yours by Tuesday to guarantee delivery in time for Easter. £20, bettys.co.uk
