Post-it for the week-end: July 09-11, 2010
Isn’t it extraordinary to have a REAL summer for once? Better enjoy it while it lasts!
- Carnaval day on Southbank tomorrow!
- Love latin dances? Salsa, Cuban, columbian music? Go shake these calories out @ Hyde park for the World City Music Village Festival!
- Hey, it’s also the Big World Dance all over town on Saturday, with the final in Trafalgar square…
- The Hyde and Seek festival is back! It’s a fab occasions to play extraodinary games on Southbank. Bring all your friends!
- Did you have to tighten the belt on your fashion budget? Try the big swish this Saturday a giant clothes swap event!
- Why not learn graffiti art? Or a unicycle workshop?
- Stamp your week-end with something a little different. An old post-office in Hackney turns into an exhibition space: artists such as Tracy Emyn were inspired by parcel, letters, iconic stamps…
- Art is not your cup of tea? Try this show on coffee cups… Some have been decorated by Coppola, Fellini, Koons, Almodovar…
- Waterloo turned into a stage? Yes, with The Railway Children show (with a real train!)
- Missed the Royal Chelsea Flower show? Don’t worry - Hampton Courts gets flowered similarly each summer…
- Add a pinch of urban nature…
- Can’t travel but feel like a change? Well, try Bastille Day @ Battersea Park this Sunday: French market, petanque, retro French music (with dancing and Lido girls)… Now, where have you put that beret of yours?
- Want more summer festivals? Music, shopping, nice food stalls? Try the Ealing one… or maybe Levisham? Even Islington joins in!
You’ll find me in a lavender field… and discovering the new Serpentine pavillion (by a French Architect, by the way)… How about you?
