Can’t make it to Edinburgh this summer? Luckily we have our very own Camden  fringe festival on our doorstep.

It’s a lot smaller than Edinburgh, but still boasts hundreds of events all over Camden, taking in everything from the expected stand-up sets and experimental theatre to kids’ shows, dance, and even magic.

Runs tend to be for a night or two rather than the entire month, and prices are bargain basement by London standards, usually less than a tenner.

Days Like These is a festival of African contemporary music bringing you good food, great music, and even better vibes.

The festival was established in the summer of 2016, by a group of friends frustrated by the lack of daytime events in London.

It aims to simply repeat the amazing experiences of day parties imprinted in their memory after living in New York.

Feeling like a taste of New York this Sunday, then head on down to the Horniman Gardens.
