The capital’s best free events from April 20-26th
Hi there {{ first name | Cheapskater }},
Welcome back to your weekly roundup of the best free culture in London. From a candlelit book event at Southwark Cathedral to a discussion between chefs hosted by food critic Jimi Famurewa, this week is absolutely packed with amazing no-spend events. And if you're running the London Marathon on Sunday – or know someone who is – scroll down for a roundup of all the free goodies up for grabs on the day! 🏃
Who doesn’t have a soft spot for the Natural History Museum? We’re thrilled to be working with the team there to shout about Generation Hope – a brilliant free programme running this Thursday to Sunday that will bring together scientists, activists and thinkers to build hope in the face of the climate crisis.
From a screening of exclusive clips from a new film about deep-sea exploration to an after-hours event on Friday night, there is so much going on at the museum… and it’s all free! Check out the full programme here.
Happy reading – and have a fantastic week!
