30 Things To Do At Home This Summer

The listening bar has been having its moment - low lights, drinks, someone earnest behind the turntable. Now the ritual is moving home, and the hi-fi evening has become something you host rather than book. Think a turntable given pride of place, records shelved to be seen, seating arranged around the speakers rather than the television. It's hosting at its most generous: one album, played properly, start to finish. We've curated the room - the music, mercifully, remains yours. Below, everything but the B-sides.

These are places where art, design and craft aren't a district or a season, but the whole personality of the place. You probably remember the first museum you visited on a family holiday thanks to a keychain you bought or an artist whose work really resonated with you and transports you back to a particular place. Better yet, the best creative cities aren't always the ones with the biggest museums or the most famous galleries, they're the places where making things is woven into everyday life: where art, design and craft shape the streets, the buildings, the food, the music and the people who live there. Some have spent centuries passing skills from one generation to the next, while others have reinvented themselves through artists, students and makers. Here are some places that do it especially well.

The Most Creative Cities in the World

Cannes 2026 has been a festival of quiet surprises the anticipated prestige titles arriving to polite applause while the real heat has come from unexpected corners: a WWI friendship drama of unusual tenderness, a Hamaguchi that earns admiration if not always love, Mungiu transplanted to a Norwegian fjord with all his discomfort intact, a Korean horror master making his case for the main competition, a Nigerian Mrs Dalloway that turns out to be one of the year's most seductive films, and an internet comedian who walked into Un Certain Regard and walked out with a $17 million A24 deal. Here are the six films you need to know about.

Learning how to build a no-booze bar cart at home is about glassware, ingredients and everyday ritual - not recreating cocktail culture without alcohol.
