Title: Step into a Piece of Skye McAlpine's Italian-Inspired British Life at the Tavola Pop-Up Shop
Put on your floral midi-skirts and get ready for a delicious journey, as the renowned chef and author, Skye McAlpine, brings her Tavola brand to life in a whimsical pop-up shop in Belgravia. From May 3, 2025, until June 7, 2025, wander into the charming location nestled between Sloane Square and Victoria Station, at 48 Elizabeth Street, SW1W 9PA.
If you've ever been captivated by McAlpine's Instagram feed bursting with pastel-hued teacups, sumptuous dishes, and floral arrangements that'd make any flower enthusiast swoon, then you'll adore this taste of her enviable world. The Tavola pop-up is an opportunity to immerse yourself in McAlpine's love letter to Italy, beautifully blended with her distinctive British roots.
Expect to find the full Tavola collection, accompanied by an enchanting assortment of antique homeware, like vintage wicker picnic baskets and other delightful treasures, carefully sourced by McAlpine herself. Taking center stage is the newly launched scent and body care line, C. Atherley, from the one and only Cath Kidston Padgham MBE, encapsulating the enchanting fragrance of pelargonium in the Pellymania collection.
Bringing together a vibrant compilation of workshops and events, the Tavola pop-up is not just a shopping destination but a playground of experiences. Swing by for tea with Skye McAlpine and Cath Kidston Padgham MBE, or let your kid's imagination run wild during the children's art sessions. For the ethereally creative, join Tavola's tablescaping classes or partake in a watercolour workshop to craft your own floral menu cards.
Cap off your visit with spring menu planning and table decoration led by McAlpine herself, a menu card illustration design workshop, or a panel discussion hosted alongside the distinguished interior designers Salvesen Graham.
The pop-up shop's products are exclusive to the Belgravia location, and they'll be part of the upcoming Belgravia in Bloom festival that coincides with the 2025 Chelsea Flower Show beginning on May 19. So, if you happen to be a wicker aficionado, a fan of charming chintz, or simply love captivating blooms, be sure to mark your calendars.
The Tavola pop-up will be open Monday through Saturday, from 11 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 12 noon to 6 pm. Ensure you do not miss out on a slice of McAlpine's enchanting life by visiting our platform's website for further details.
