For those in romantic limbo, Dead Poets has you covered with its Roses Are Dead party – a celebration of singlehood. Here, a stripped-down menu of martinis and red wine by the carafe will anchor a night of self-love. Guests can scribble down ideas, habits and people to move on from on cards at the bar, to be pinned on the Breakup Board. Those who do will get a free Liquid Poison chaser.
