It’s the final weekend before the big one! Whether you want to get some last minute bits in – or just want to get away from it all – we’ve got you covered. Here’s our highlights.

=====

Get your Xmas festivities off to an all singing, all dancing afternoon of glittery FREE fun at The Legends & Legacies Yuletide Special.

The afternoon cabaret – led by performance artist XNTHONY in partnership with LGBT+ support charity Opening Doors London – will feature plenty of fab and festive tinsel-strewn music, dance and laughs. No need to book; just show up and enjoy!

Sat 21st Dec, 4.30pm: The Legends & Legacies Yuletide Special
Queen Elizabeth Hall (Queen Elizabeth Hall Foyer), Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, SE1 8XX
FREE – for more info click here

Families enjoy some festive fun

If the little ones need entertaining head East for two days of FREE interactive games, arts and crafts plus some amazing performances at the Frost Fair Festival.

What’s in the name? Years ago when the Thames froze over there’d be gigantic celebrations called Frost Fairs right there on the ice. The Museum of London Docklands is bringing the tradition back to life. Just with warmer weather!

Sat 21st & Sun 22nd Dec, 12pm to 4pm: Frost Fair festival
Museum of London Docklands, 1 Warehouse, West India Quay, Hertsmere Road, E14 4AL
FREE – just drop in. For more info click here

Kapten is the new London cab app. With fixed prices and a loyalty scheme, try it! We’re running an exclusive Skint offer and giving away half-price rides in December. Including New Year’s Eve! This is up to £25 FREE cab credit.  Make Christmas cheaper! You can even order an environmentally friendly electric car.

If you’re looking to get in that Xmas mood without spending a single penny, there’s two FREE Christmas carol services in Marylebone on Sunday.

Visitors to All Souls Langham Place can sing along to a live choir and orchestra plus enjoy a selection of festive readings. Oh and look out for FREE mince pies and Christmas punch. Winning all round here!

Sun 22nd Dec, 4.30pm – 5.30pm and 6.30pm – 7.30pm: Christmas Carol Services
All Souls Langham Place, 2 All Souls’ Place, W1B 3DA
FREE – just show up. For more info click here

It’s also the first night of the Jewish festival of Chanukah on Sunday so Londoners are invited down to join Rabbi Mendy Korer for the lighting of the world’s first kinetic laser menorah.

There’ll be lots of fun for all. Watch out for a shadow puppetry workshop, an electro klezmer band, Sci-Fi story telling while little ones can play with a futuristic dreidel toy. There’s also tons to munch (it’s a Jewish festival after all!) with hundreds of FREE latkes, doughnuts and lashings of chocolatey Chanukah gelt for kids.

Sun 22nd Dec, 5pm to 7pm: Islington Menorah Lighting
Islington Green, N1 8DU
FREE – just show up. For more info click here
