Only two sleeps to go! Do remember that it's not JUST our fabulous and ridiculously cheap events that are happening around Newington Green this weekend. Take the opportunity between events to visit some of the incredible independent cafes, shops, bars & restaurants in the area too. We've got Belle Epoque's amazing patisserie, the wonderful Lizzie's on the Green, Jolene, Cadet, Perilla, Yield Wines (and eats), cheese toasties and wine from Jumi, some incredible Turkish restaurants just up Green Lanes as well as the culinary and retail delights of Stoke Newington Church Street just up the road. The weather looks temperate and dry (it was too much to hope for summer, let's face it) so grab yourself a picnic and sit on the Green under the watchful eye of silver Barbie blob. Sorry, we mean the statue of Mary Wollstonecraft ;-)

With just TWO DAYS to go until what the cool cats at The Quietus called 'One of the best book bashes in the UK', we urge you to get a wiggle on and bag some brain-expanding events at BARGAIN prices. For the price of a mochalochafrappucino or a fairly ropey glass of house wine, you could be soaking up knowledge about anything from how sport helped shape Britain, toxic beauty culture to zines & the counter-culture, why we dance and why you really do need to put Arthur Russell on your Spotify list, to why it's important to create protest writing. For evening fun at ridiculously good prices, we've got Stewart Lee's favourite story-teller John Osborne spinning a wonderful tale about Strangers, our fabulous Q***r Literary Soirée under a glitterball and the insanely brilliant Nerd Nite where you can learn about powerpoint presentations, why ADHD isn't a bloody trend thank you very much and beach huts. Lots of events have sold out but there are still tickets left, so don't be left out. Be part of the brainy crowd! Tickets in the link.
