Free Things This Weekend
Good local plans needn't cost the earth. This page keeps an eye on the stronger free events nearby, so you can skip the faff and get straight to the promising stuff.
11–12 July Near Forest Park
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We don't just scoop up anything with a £0 next to it. These picks still need to be nearby, useful, and properly explained, because 'free' is lovely but 'free and baffling' is less of a selling point.
Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Forest Park, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

2Free! (worth double-checking)Family Fun (5 to 10 yrs): Creating a Garden in Clay
Inspired by the tiles of the Arab Hall, children will work with ceramicist Nibras Al-Salman to create a shared artwork filled with flowers, plants and creatures, as well as their own art piece to take home. Adults will gain an introduction to ceramics, particularly the Damascus and Iznik tiles in the museum, while children engage with playful clay-making.
