After the success of the DXB Cucumber Day, get ready to celebrate the DXB Cucumber Carnival at Soho Garden on October 17 and 18. The weekend will throw up a concoction of fun and entertainment - whether it's in the form of international acts like The Electric Swing Circus or local magic shows and tarot card readings. There are also two main events - the Feast (Dh250 per pax, on Oct 17) where you can enjoy delights in a banquet style setup or the High Tea (Dh250 per pax, on Oct 18) where you can enjoy mini sandwiches and other treats. Entry is free for all but don't forget your cucumber to access the 'VIC' area. For details, email reservations@sohogardendxb.com or call 052-388 8849.

Full steam ahead

Homegrown love
Bounty Beets in Le Meridien Mina Seyahi has the perfect way to kickstart the cooler months - the Bounty Beets Market.
