Join Jessie Jane Collins & her band at Hootananny Brixton this eve for a rousing night of Celtic folk music. Jessie is also a sought-after Irish dance performer, so you may get to see some mega-talented toe tapping!

Did you catch the Michael B Jordan film Sinners earlier this summer? Black History Walks is unpacking the history behind it by hosting a scene-by-scene analysis of the film at the Prince of Peckham pub.

Looking for ways to get more involved in your community, & get back to nature at the same time? A social gardening session at St Margaret’s House could be just the thing – no experience needed.

The Twist Museum on Oxford St is really more of a playground than a museum, where you can immerse yourself in optical illusions & explore quirky alternate realities.

We’re giving away a pair of tickets to the Museum’s Twilight Thursday, an adults-only late session (cocktails available!). This month, it’s a nature-inspired collab with sound & light artist Natural Symphony, who’s inspired by the natural rhythms of plant life. Get ready to head into the jungle!

If music be the food of love, play on, & attend a free open air production of classic Shakespearean gender-bending comedy Twelfth Night at The Scoop this Weds eve. No need to book, but worth getting there early.

Are we in Paddington or on a Greek island? It’ll be hard to tell at the latest outdoor film screening at Merchant Square: Mamma Mia. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes, & arrive extra early if you want to snag a deckchair.

“One way or another”, you’ll love this exhibit at the Barbican Music Library displaying 50 iconic photos of Blondie, alongside rock ‘n’ roll souvenirs from the collection of legendary music PR Alan Edwards.

Another great exhibit opens this week, this time at Elizabeth Xi Bauer in Exmouth Market: sculptors Alexandre da Cunha & Brian Griffiths’ work is all about transforming the ordinary & introducing fantasy into domestic life.

Celebrate the cultures of the Middle East & have a boogie at the same time at this workshop at the Southbank Centre, where you can learn Dabke, a traditional dance which is popular in Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine & Syria.

It’s the last day to catch the Women Who Paint Women exhibit at New Art Projects in Islington, which explores the different ways women artists approach female portraiture, & features several artists under 30.
