Here's our pick of this week's freebies happening in London...
FREE - Sept 9 - 13
Space Soon, Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road
If you're wandering round Camden this weekend, head on up to Chalk Farm and check out the free space exhibitions in the Roundhouse. You'll have to pay for the extras, like a talk by Alan Bean, the 4th man to walk on the moon, (£20) but it's worth a gander.
FREE - Sept 8 - 10
Oyster and Seafood Fair, Hays Galleria, Tooley Street
It's just a shopping centre, we hear you cry. Well you'd better get your butts down here this weekend for this fish-fest. Tastings, cookery demos, a steel band and a fresh fish market all give this gathering of shops an aquatic incentive.
FREE - Sunday 12 noon - 6pm
Brick Lane Festival, Brick Lane, near Liverpool Street tube
"Its party time once again for the most famous street of London… After Coronation Street (probably!).
Held every second Sunday of September, the Festival is now firmly established on the London calendar of events attracting over 60,000 people who come to enjoy the rich mix of culture, history, live music, films and food.
Fast becoming recognised as the alternative to Notting Hill Carnival, the event combines the excitement and buzz of a street festival, alfresco eating, fun fair, Brick Lane’s own Chili Film Festival (debuting this year) and a relaxing outdoor music concert with local and international performers." Taken from official website here.
FREE: Sat @ 1pm
Little People's Cookie Class, Villandry, 170 Great Portland Street
If you're planning on shopping but have to take the kids, here's an idea. Why not stop for lunch at Villandry, and while you're eating in piece, the kids are getting creative in the kitchen with the professional bakers, whipping up special gingerbread men for your pudding. Bless.
