The August bank holiday attracts around two million people to London for Notting Hill Carnival alongside late-summer music festivals such as All Points East, Rally and Body Movements, and numerous outdoor cinema and open-air theatre events. Many Londoners may feel stretched after a busy summer of travel, festivals and socialising, so free options offer budget relief. Eight free activities are highlighted for the long weekend. The 30th edition of a leading outdoor performance festival opens with Above And Beyond by French company Lézards Bleus in Woolwich, accompanied by the Citizens of the World Choir. The women's Six Nations tournament also begins, with England's Red Roses among the favourites.
The August bank holiday is without a doubt one of the liveliest weekends of the year in London. Not only do around two million people take to the streets to celebrate Notting Hill Carnival, there's also a plethora of late-summer music festivals - All Points East, Rally and Body Movements to name a few - plus plenty of outdoor cinema and open-air theatre.
But if you're anything like us, after a summer spent holidaying, day-tripping, festival-going, beer garden session-ing and generally acting like you have unlimited disposable income, all the late summer antics might just be one expense too far. So to save your overdraft from taking another rinsing, we've rounded up eight great things to do over the long weekend without shelling out a single penny.
The 30th edition of London's leading outdoor performance festival kicks off this weekend, and its opening show is one you won't want to miss. After dazzling audiences with last year's performance, , French movement company Lézards Bleus are back with Above And Beyond , a breathtaking acrobatic feat that will see eight parkour performers traversing landmark buildings around Woolwich, accompanied by music from the Greenwich-based Citizens of the World Choir.
