You can now book a Smurf mushroom house experience on Airbnb
This summer, two families will have the chance to live like Smurfs – well, sort of. Airbnb is offering an exclusive, four-hour experience to coincide with the release of Smurfs, which will take place in the Belgian Woods, where the idea for these characters was born.
Nicolas Tytgat, grandson of creator Peyo, will be hosting the experience alongside 'Papa Smurf', and there's a load of activities on the itinerary where you'll get properly stuck in with the Smurf lifestyle.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your hosts with a 'smurfberry drink', and have the chance to make your own Smurf hat; turn your hand to some archery in the woodland, gorge on a Smurf-inspired picnic and, most excitingly, learn from a Smurf-trained choreographer a routine to perform on the open-air forest stage.
It's a jam-packed day, right? To finish it off, you'll get a scoop of Smurfberry ice cream – oh, and you'll get to keep your hat afterwards. Can't let those top-tier designs go to waste.
'I grew up surrounded by the magic of the Smurfs, so to bring fans to Belgium, the birthplace of the Smurfs, and into the world that my Grandad created, is something truly special,' said Tytgat, 'This is a one-of-a-kind experience and I cannot wait to share this moment and our family stories with Airbnb guests.'
Two of these four-hour sessions are taking place on Sunday August 3, for up to four people each, and booking opens on July 16 at 11am BST. The best part is that all of this is for free (you'll just have to cover your transport). It's first-come, first-served, so make sure you're ready on this page when the bookings go live!

Burmese flavours close to home at Alinga Tea & Dining
Even though a border separates Thailand and Myanmar, the cultural connection between the two feels anything but distant, especially when it comes to food. Burmese restaurants are quietly tucked away all over Bangkok and one of them is Alinga Tea & Dining, a halal Burmese-inspired spot in the Rama IX area. To celebrate the delicious connection between two traditions, the eatery hosted its very first event on July 11 called 'Alinga the 1st Food Tasting: Culinary Cultural Bridge'. Photograph: Alinga Tea & Dining What made the night special was a four-hand dinner by two renowned chefs: Thailand's first MasterChef winner,Chef Kaew Paveenuch, and Chef Joseph Nyi: culinary director at Le Cellier in Yangon and a judge on MasterChef Myanmar Season 4. If you missed the event, don't despair – you can still enjoy their special menu at the venue for the next three months. Even though the evening was centred around food, it brought people together through conversation and a shared curiosity about the tastes of Myanmar. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, just like Alinga itself, where the cuisine is made to feel approachable, creative and full of heart.

It's so comfortable to wear which is perfect for summer days and evenings. I really love the fact that it has pockets," penned a third. Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earned the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Love this dress! Flatteringly flowy and cool and too nice to just be saved for holidays!" "Very comfortable to wear. May buy another one to put away for my holiday!' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "Fits perfectly. Lovely and soft, comfortable and flowy. Gorgeous pattern details. I call it my Lobster Dress."
