Page 3: Primo Brochure April - May 2014

Spring has always fascinated me, people start to dust themselves off from the Winter blues and we begin to brighter colours emerge. It’s time to start enjoying the outdoors again and to visit what London has to offer.

As a proud ambassador of my home country I would recommend in April two great exhibitions. The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier, London’s first major exhibition devoted to France’s most rebellious designer at the Barbican Center also. The Cut Out exhibition devoted to  Henri Matisse’s paper cut-outs at Tate Modern from April 2014.

In April we will see the streets of London filled with runners from around the world jogging for their respective charities at the London Marathon, it is a true spectacle and not an event to miss out on.

This season I am delighted to introduce two new concepts on Fridays such as “Kind Of Magic” a magic show mixed with various other types of entertainment every first Friday of the month and secondly a very enter-taining ‘Indeedy Musical Bingo’ where the audience will need to partici-pate to win great prizes.

Enjoy your Spring and we look forward to seeing you soon.
