A Micro Pig Pop-up Is Coming To A City Near You

Grab a box of tissues, because this is about to get really emotional.

Last week, we mentioned that a super cute pug cafe was coming to London. Now, we’ve got even better news: Micro piggies, (those tiny cute pink things that make even the darkest souls cry with joy) will be hanging out at the Floating Pocket Park in Merchant Square this month for a free lunchtime picnic called ‘Tiny Tails!’

As part of the Square’s ‘Summer of Fun’ event series, Londoners and visitors to the British capital will be given the chance to cuddle, and even take a selfie or two (the absolute golden snitch of the Instagram feed) with the lovable little things. Oh, and there will be bunnies, too. As in actual furry Peter Rabbits. We’re finished.

The organisers behind the concept hope that the pop-up’s snorting creatures will help London folk combat all their work-related stress, and as a result, boost their productivity – as if they don’t do enough already, but hey, it’s better than staying in the office for your lunch break. Yes. Yes, it is.

Tiny Tails will take place at the Floating Pocket Park, Merchant Square from 12pm–2pm on Thursday, July 27.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
