Somewhere you should go… the Big Rooftop Tea & Golf Party at Selfridges

Prolific architectural jellymongers Bompass and Parr have been on a roll with their installations, but their latest offering – a crazy golf course on the roof of Selfridges London – is probably among the most ambitious.  Inspired by the roof displays that the store used to have back in the 1930s, one of which included a mini golf course, each obstacle on the  9-hole course will take the form of a cake representing a London landmark.

Expect to navigate past a sugary Gherkin, icing-clad Big Ben and of course, in true Jubilee spirit (just in case you hadn’t had your fill), a baked Buckingham Palace. And if after a hard day’s golfing all that cake has your sweet tooth salivating, head across to the rooftop Daylesford Café where you can sample some 100% organic cakey goodness during afternoon tea from 12pm each day.

Advance tickets for June are now sold out but walk-up tickets are available in-store. Advance tickets for July will be released on June 15th, tickets for August will be released on  July 13th and tickets for September will be released on August 17th at noon.  For more info, visit The Selfridges website.
