Free events in Hyde Park this week - from outdoor cinema screenings to workout sessions

Londoners can take part in a range of free activities over the next few weeks as part of BST Hyde Park’s Open House series. While the royal park will host big names, including Guns N’ Roses, Take That and Blackpink, this weekend, it will be open to the public during the week.

The free midweek events invite Londoners to join in on the festival celebrations at Hyde Park. It kicked off last Friday (June 23), ahead of the first weekend of the festival.

The first proper week of Open House events started on Monday (June 26) and will wrap on Thursday (June 29). It will pick back up for the final week on July 3 and will run until July 5.

Over the two weeks, city natives will be able to watch some classic films as part of an outdoor cinema and join work out as part of pilates, HITT and meditation classes.

Here’s a rundown of some of the free activities Londoners can take part in at BST Hyde Park’s Open House series over the next few weeks.
