It’s going to be a colourful day of live music, traditional drummers, lion dances and Shinto theatre at Japan Masturi.

Look out for plenty of delicious street food and drinks from the land of the rising sun and enjoy.

This one’s for all the TARDIS fans, there’s a FREE Doctor Who pop-up in Hackney this weekend.
Those brave enough to head in to the Doctor Who: The Edge of Time machine will play the role of the Doctor’s assistant as they pilot an erratic space ship craft. Players will have to interact with the Doctor herself before trying to solve the mystery behind the ‘Reality Virus’.
It’s a creative collaboration between HTC and BBC so should be a goodie.
Fri 27th (10.30am – 7pm) & Sat 28th (10am – 4pm): pop-up Doctor Who: The Edge of Time
Protein Studios, 31 New Inn Yard, Hackney, EC2A 3EY
