Roller-skating is back with nights popping up all over the country, but at this disco, you won't find a DJ churning out the usual 70's cheese. Launched last month, this summer sizzler plays only the best Balearic beats and Latin rhythms. Better get your skates on!

Organised by Creative Routes, a charity "run by the mad for the mad", it's unsurprisingly a celebration of all things mad and certainly not your generic summer festival. It'll be back next year so head down and get a little crazy.

Milliner Yasmin Rizvi's designs are anything but mother of the bride. Funky, unusual and beautifully made, she uses a variety of materials from flowers and feathers to hair. You can check out her designs online and commission her to make you your own one of a kind hat.

This sporting phenomenon headed to the UK for the 1st time this summer, to show us Brits what Mexican men (and transsexuals) are made of. Think wrestling with a sprinkling of acrobatics, a dash of theatrics and whole lot of crazy, tight lycra.

The humble cassette may be long gone but with this USB device, with a retro twist, you can feel totally old skool. Get online, design your own case, choose your tape colour and download up to 1GB worth of songs onto it. A quirky and original gift alternative for music lovers.
