10 picks around Leigh (Sevenoaks), from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
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.
1A relaxed and informal approach to worship. There is an all-age talk in the first part of the service, followed by Junior Church activities for the young people, while the service continues for adults with a sermon and intercessions. For those who wish to attend Communion, there will be a Common Worship Holy Communion Service at the Old Church at 11:30 am on the same day as this service.
2Heart of Kent Hospice is hosting a free monthly drop-in for all children and families under our care and those living with a life limiting illness in Kent. We focus fun activities for children and young people such as crafts and games, with snacks and drinks provided.

7The Small Beer brewery and taproom is close to several craft breweries and bottle shops that make up the Bermondsey Beer Mile. If you're tackling the Bermondsey Beer Mile on a Saturday, we recommend starting in the Small Beer taproom, and then making your way up to London Bridge, where your food and public transport options are plentiful. Alternatively, you can do it the other way around, kicking things off on Druid Street and ending your day in South Bermondsey, where you can visit Four Pure and Small Beer before closing time at 10pm.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM: Whirling Magic: a Journey in to transcendental states. Rooted in the rich tradition of Egyptian Tanoura folklore yet offered here as a universal, non-religious practice, this master class invites you into one of humanity’s most ancient movement rituals. Whirling is not simply spinning — it is an art of organization, a discipline of the body finding its home along the vertical axis. In this space, all are welcome, regardless of background or belief, to experience the profound intelligence this practice carries within its turns. There is a paradox at the heart of whirling: the more the body moves, the more still the inner world becomes. At the center of this stillness lives the spine — the Sushumna, the central axis, the body’s own antenna. As we organize ourselves along this vertical channel, the brain’s signal travels downward through the crystalline medium of cerebrospinal fluid, illuminating the cord that connects crown to root. This is not metaphor — it is physiology meeting mystery. The vertical axis has always been our access point to the flow state, to expanded consciousness, to that deeper current of aliveness that runs through us when we get out of our own way. This class is a fully embodied, experiential journey through breath work, intentional movement, and the conscious organization of the body in space.
