Good to know

Is anything free?

Yes, LagosPhoto: Stories of Movement and Belonging, Wednesday Walks at Kingsbury Water Park, Humbolt Penguin Talk & Feed and A Service of Lament for Homelessness are free to attend. Some free events still need a ticket booked in advance; each listing says so.

What do tickets cost?

Paid events start from £3.95. Prices are taken from each organiser's own published list and shown on every event page, with the booking link.

What if it rains?

Deaf Youth Theatre and A Service of Lament for Homelessness are indoors. Our rainy-day list has every place under a roof if the forecast turns.

How up to date is this?

The list refreshes every few minutes from the organisers' own published schedules. If an event is cancelled at short notice it may still show; the booking link on each listing goes to the organiser's live page.
