The best events to go to in London this year
There’s nothing worse than a slow, boring week at work. Except maybe a super busy week that leaves
you absolutely shattered.
But the one thing that can help us through it all is knowing that we’ve got something super excited about
on the horizon.
Diverse, busy, and pretty huge, London is the perfect place to be for those who want to fill their free time
with thrills and adventures. To help you find that dream event you’ll be counting down the days for, here
are some of the best London events going down this year.

all around.
Head to Dalston Roofpark this summer for skyline views, DJs, free games like giant Jenga, cocktails,
and, of course, delicious food! Love Pub + Grub has a 2-for-1 happy hour for the first hour of every
event, so if you fancy saving, head down early.

Where: SoLo Craft Fair Shop at Elephant Stores, 14 Ash Avenue, Elephant and Castle in London
SE17 1GQ
The perfect event for environmentally aware bookworms!
This event is hosted by SoLo Craft Fair. They’ll be setting up a camp with second-hand books that have
their covers hidden. There’ll be a short description of what the book is about so you can figure out if it’s
the book for you before taking it home. This blind date event keeps books out of landfill and even allows
you to bring books you no longer want and hand them in.
Better still, the fair shop will be open, showcasing designs made by over 60 makers, there’ll be a bar with
alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and one of the books available will contain a £10 SoLo Craft
voucher. Oh, and the event is completely free to attend!
Psychobilly Freakout 2023
Where: New Cross Inn in London
Love a bit of punk? This might be right up your street!
For those unfamiliar, psychobilly is a fusion genre of rock, punk, and rockabilly. It’s often recognised by
its lyrical themes that reference horror, science fiction, violence, and more, often delivered in a jokey,
tongue-in-cheek way.
There are some cracking names set to perform over the weekend including Demented Are Go + The
Hillbilly Moon Explosion, Reverend Horton Heat, Spellbound, The Zipheads, Astro Zombies, and so
many more. Day tickets on Skiddle are under £40, or you could do the full weekend for under £85.
An absolute steal.
Hackney Night Market 2023
When: every Friday evening in June
Where: Bohemia Place Market in London
A summertime night market with food, entertainment and more every Friday night.
Once you’ve finished for the week, head over to Bohemia Place Market to put yourself in the weekend
vibe. Some nights will feature takeovers from the likes of Cross The Tracks and City Splash Festivals,
and DEADLY, a platform all about Caribbean music and culture.
Food offerings cater to all needs including vegan and gluten-free options, there’ll be unique cocktails
and craft beer from local breweries, and DJs spinning hip-hop, reggae, funk, soul, dancehall, afrobeats,
and more. Since it’s a summer series, there’ll be lots of outdoor seating for you to enjoy the warmer
weather.

Where: Menier Chocolate Factory in London
Based on a brilliant British film noir written by Graham Greene, this musical thriller brings the story to life
at Menier Chocolate Factory.
The story is set in post-war Vienna and follows Holly Martins as she arrives following an invitation from
Harry Lime. She discovers Harry has been killed in a car accident, but the details of the accident don’t
make sense. Determined to uncover what’s happened, she delves into the dark worlds of black markets
and military bureaucracy.

from start to finish.

Offspring, Beastie Boys, and so much more over the night. And since it’s all going down at Bloomsbury
