Rainy Day Picks This Weekend

11–12 July Near Leicester Square

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Leicester Square, 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.

Inspired by Spike Island’s exhibition, Nancy Lupo: Several Chickens Later , multidisciplinary artist and folklorist Johnny Morgan-Jones invites participants to explore sculpture, performance, and speculative storytelling through found fabrics, imbuing them with meaning and movement.
