Fun, free local events
You don't need to spend a penny this bank holiday with free events that everyone will enjoy! The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival is here to entertain for the last stretch of Summer. If you've not heard of this festival, it's basically free outdoor events on the streets of Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Thamesmead and the Royal Docks.
Take a look at the full line-up which includes a recreation of the Northern lights by Swiss artist Dan Archer, which sounds incredible. Even though it's a free event, it sounds like it will be popular, so we suggest booking in your slots as soon as possible.
