Arts & Museums Culture Family Film & Telly Nightlife & Comedy Theatre & Music Weekend
Mardi Gras

This week’s Skint Weekend is sponsored by new London cab app, Kapten

Temperatures might have dropped a bit, but The Ashes is on, BBQs are being fired up and pub gardens are full so we’re not complaining.

=====

Head down to the River for a FREE day of live funk, soul – and throwing shapes – at the Meltdown Mardi Gras.

Sunday’s Southbank day out will kick off with a procession from youth organisation Kinetika Bloco plus there’ll be a chance to see 11-piece ensemble Dat Brass. Oh and why not learn some new moves from Swing Patrol then put your new skills to the test at a dance battle!

Sun 4th Aug, 12pm – 7pm: Meltdown Mardi Gras
Southbank Centre, Riverside Terrace, Level 2, Belvedere Road, SE1 8XX

Mrs H and the Singalong Band

Staying on the River, get set for a family friendly FREE festival combining music, yoga, dance and DJs. The National Theatre’s River Stage Festival Weekend is celebrating with a final party weekender to close the 2019 festival.

Highlights on the specially built stage include tunes from Mrs H and the Sing-Along Band (pictured above) a live set from Tottenham’s Empire Sounds, Some Voices choir and a gratis Sunday lunchtime yoga class.

Kapten is the new London cab app. With fixed prices and a loyalty scheme, try it. We’re running a Skint offer and giving away £15 cab credit to get you started. Make your weekend cheaper!

Grab the little ones and head north for a fun filled – and FREE – extravaganza at the RAF Museum’s Family Festival of Flight.

There’ll be loads on including a birds of prey flying display, a hot air balloon lift off, paper plane challenges and you’ll even be able to dress up as a RAF pilot. It’s all part of the Hendon museum’s Summer of Spitfire.
