Making the most of Lockdown Level 4 this week

Lockdown isn't over yet but on Friday May 1 we will have at least stepped down to 'Level 4' which means there are some old pleasures which you can enjoy again such as junk food delivery and even High Tea (at home)!

To keep your mind busy and spirits up during the next week in isolation check out our picks of restaurants and cafes offering meal deliveries, learn how to win at video conferencing, reconnect with the world and sign up for a language course, get busy cooking with more recipes from local chefs, enjoy this week's playlist of local music, support small local businesses by investing in vouchers and shopping locally for groceries, tune in to free art talks, take a look ahead to some great online cultural events coming up in May and join William Kentridge in his studio tonight.

Read on for this week's #lockdown list of things to enjoy while we all stay home!
