Alternative London events Something’s always going on in London. The city has much, much more to offer in addition to its established events. There are literally hundreds of colourful activities and spectacles throughout the year, often organised by cultural institutes and international organisations. There are concerts, exhibitions, dancing, fringe theatre, gigs, fairs, processions and much more. We have provided a selection of events that will be added to throughout the year as we become aware of new things that Euronet Members might be interested in. Send us your suggestions. 7 - 11 August 2007- Great British Beer Festival Organised by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), this is the UK's largest beer festival with over 450 real ales plus cider, perry and international beer. The festival also includes pub quizzes, roving entertainers, traditional pub games, live music, tombolas and auctions. mid-September (tbc) 2007 - Chinatown Festival, Chinatown

May 2008 - London Doll's House Festival, Kensington Town Hall More than 170 dolls house enthusiasts from around the world flock to this event. There are incredible items on sale, from working chandeliers to strung tennis rackets, and the display houses are truly astonishing. June through summer 2008 - Morris Dancing, Westminster Abbey
Thursday, 10 July 2008 - Vintners’ Procession, Upper Thames Street Members of the Worshipful Company of Vintners march in a procession through the City of London. At the front of the procession, two men in white smocks and top hats sweep the street with twig-brooms. This custom began in the days when London's streets were covered with dirt, and the vintners did not want to slip in the mess! For suggestions and feedback, please email contact@euronet-london.com |

This is the Moon Festival, one of the most important cultural events in the Chinese calendar. The streets of Chinatown sell arts, crafts and food delicacies whilst entertainment is provided in the form of Chinese music and a lion dances.
Pop to the gardens behind Westminster Abbey to see traditional English dancing taking place every Wednesday. Pre-dating Christianity, most Morris Dancing is performed in local villages. It is therefore unusual to have them performing in London.
