Summer Holidays - More August Ideas!

In a few days we will be down to one month! Yes my friends, one single month, four weeks, two fortnights! Whatever you want to call it, before the children go back to school. Don't get me wrong, I know how we love spending time with the little crumb-snatchers and a month doesn't sounds THAT bad but; we still have to entertain, excite, stimulate and endure the whims of our much loved prepubescent offspring Gdammit! Which is, incidentally, where I come in. 

As you know I have already produced a round up of activity that I think you and the family might enjoy throughout August here, August Summer Special. But I am also keeping my ear to the ground for anything that might be coming up (or that I might've missed!). So here are two more interesting events you should be aware of that might add an interesting dimension to your August.

1. Nomad Cinema. Until Friday 30th September
In a nutshell this new pop up cinema company appears and promptly disappears from parks all over London all in the name of the cool outdoor movie experience! Who needs a sound proofed room, comfy chairs, roof and the warmth of well bled radiators associated with traditional cinemas mmmmm? That is just so last decade!! Open air is all the rage now! You'll find this style of event at Somerset House & at The Queen of Hoxton, people so it is time we got on the curve.  The show times vary but most are on in the evening; so depending on what time you put your movieloving-munchkins to bed it may or may not suit! But if it doesn't, what the hell, get a babysitter and go yourself, with a friend, better half, frenemy, whatever floats your boat! Listings are here. Nomad Cinema


2. Brixton Splash - Sunday 7th August 12:00 - 7:00pm. FREE

This year the Brixton Splash is 6 years old. This free fun family extravaganza takes place in Windrush Square (outside Brixton Library) and along Coldharbour Lane. If you want to see some of the up and coming artists that London has to offer then this is where you will see many of them showcase their talents. There will be stall after stall of great food, arts and crafts in abundance and without question plenty of dancing with the sounds of calypso, reggae, soul, dub-step and more providing the culturally relevant soundtrack. In the words of Rastamouse this event will no doubt be "Irie". Brixton Splash

MORE TO COME TOMORROW.
