If you're looking for something to help you unwind, what better way is there than attending a pooch therapy session with Puppy Love Events? These hour-long sessions are led by expert dog trainer Jodi, and you'll get a chance to play with these adorable pups while teaching them socialisation skills at the same time. This event takes place at Revolucion De Cuba, costing £19 per person - which includes a free drink.
