Spooky goings-on…
Celebrate Halloween early this year by
checking out the weird and wonderful events at
Conway Hall in London’s Holborn (18-19
October). It’s the largest pagan festival in
Europe (paganfestivals.com). Or if you’re feeling
brave, try Thorpe Park’s scary and yet to be
revealed new attraction
(thorpepark.com)!
SEPTEMBER 12
Girl trouble
This month’s must-see
film is a true chick flick, starring Meg
Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes
(right) Jada Pinkett Smith and
Debra Messing – who are
collectively The Women.
They laugh, they cry,
they support each
other through breakups
and betrayals…
Sound familiar? SEPTEMBER
Art Attack
Head to Birmingham for some serious
culture at ArtsFest, the UK’s biggest
free arts festival, 12-14 September. You’ll
see anything from salsa to Shakespeare
– all for free (artsfest.org.uk). And don’t
miss London’s Affordable Art Fair, 23-26
October, where you can pick up original
prints for a snip (from just £50, honest!).
Snap up work by up-and-coming artists
or highprofile ones such as Tracey Emin (affordableartfair.com).
