It’s The Weekend Already! Things To Do: 1st – 3rd June
Well it’s been another four-day week, meaning that the weekend is rushing up towards us faster than we can handle right now. But fear not, the short week doesn’t mean that we’ve forgotten to prepare our weekend guide; so, just for you, here are the fun things we’re going to be up to this weekend. Come and join us!
Fodder at Great Guns Social
Whiskey And Chicken Hearts
Popup Fodder is popping up again, this time at Great Guns Social, and they’ve teamed up with whiskey maker Glenfiddich. The event, this Saturday, will include five courses, each carefully paired with whiskies by Glenfiddich. From the whiskey side try some experimental variants of the famous drink, including the Glenfiddich IPA and Glenfiddich 21 (a 21 year aged whisky with a rum cask finish) as well as their core products. Meanwhile Fodder will be churning out some techniques perfected for the pairing, including smoking, fermenting and confit, while the menu will feature their most popular item chicken fat bao with chicken heart filling, pickled ramson and a crispy chicken skin topping. What’s not to miss?

Field Day 2018
Festival Time!
Will it rain, will it shine? The classic festival question, and perfect for this weekend. Thankfully, it’s not a four hour car drive and an eight hour carpark queue away, you can decide what to wear on the day at Field Day in Brockwell Park. But be it wellies or flip flops, this looks like it’s going to be a fun one. Headliners include PJ Harvey, Caribou, Skepta, Patti Smith and Pixies and they’ll be joined by no shortage of foodie producers to keep you hydrated and full (nb they have banned all food brought onto site, so presumably bring plenty of cash or preload on baguettes at the gate).
Friday 1st – Saturday 2nd June
Where: Brixton Water Lane, Brixton, SW2 1QE

Oval Space
Belgian Beers And Eclectic Music
Ale’s well that ends well. Which is handy because it’s all about ale down at Hackney’s Oval Space this weekend as 70 different Belgian craft beers from 20 Belgian breweries descend, along with authentic Belgian food pairings and Belgian entertainment. Billed as ‘eclectic music’ we’re not sure what the entertainment will entail, but the food and beer promise to be exceptional and well worth a look in.
Friday 1st – Saturday 2nd June
Where: Oval Space, 20-32 The Oval, Hackney, E2 9DT

The event won’t just be about the rugby, but will embrace London and its mix of cultures with family-focussed inclusive fun including entertainment and street food markets and of course the opportunity for England team perform for the first time since their bronze medal win at the Commonwealth Games.
