========

This is your chance for a FREE day of gaming, cosplay and dressing up; the Games Character Parade is coming to the capital. Dress up in games-inspired costume and get involved in the light-hearted procession.

If you want to take part register in advance or just rock up and enjoy from the sidelines. It’s all part of the London Games Festival taking place this month. The Parade gets going from from Guildhall Yard bang on 12.30pm. It then loops around the city and back again.

Sat, 14th April, from 12:30pm: Games Character Parade
Parade starts at Guildhall Yard, EC2V 7HH

seasideWhy not help the kids get creative and head over to a FREE arty session at Beside The Seaside at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

Little ones can take their inspiration from beachside paintings and photographs in the museum’s collection and create artwork to take away. No need to book, just pop in.

Sun 15th April, 11am – 1.30pm or 2pm – 4pm: Beside The Seaside
