Voting is done and dusted, time for fun! Fret not – Skint has has come up with some great ideas of how you can enjoy the best of our amazing city on a shoestring this weekend. Enjoy.
——————————–
Get south of the river for Made Of Dough’s soft launch where they’re flogging food and booze at half price!
The Peckham pizzeria – which already has an outlet down the road in Brixton – will also be giving customers the chance to grab 50% off their signature gelato shakes and beers too. We like!
Made Of Dough is doing discounted food and booze in Peckham all weekend!
Fri 9th June, 50% off Fri – Sun, Made Of Dough soft launch
182 Bellenden Road, SE15 4BW

Fancy a merry one? Well, get down to Wine Car Boot in King’s Cross to try a plethora of plonk. Expect to find a big selection of independent wine retailers and producers with tempting tipples to sell or try.
Entry is FREE plus you can pick up a Tasting Pack for a tenner on the day that gives you tokens for five glasses of grapes!
Try some wine in King’s Cross on Saturday
Sat 10th June, 12pm – 8pm: Wine Car Boot
West Handyside Canopy, King’s Cross, N1C (just off Granary Square)

If it’s Great British pageantry – and rather a lot of noise – you’re after, slink over to Hyde Park on Saturday for a 41-gun salute to mark The Duke Of Edinburgh’s birthday.
The grand old man of the Royal Family turns 96 this weekend and, as a tribute, visitors can watch the Royal Artillery ride their horses and gun carriages across the Parade Ground before firing off their salute in style.
Sat 10th June, 12pm: Duke of Edinburgh’s Birthday Royal Gun Salute
Hyde Park

Join the so-called Treedom Fighters as they look to save a cluster of beautiful trees on the South Bank. The giant shrubs – planted in the 1960s – are vulnerable to destruction as London’s never-ending development threatens to bring down more of our sacred green spaces.
Spend Saturday afternoon saving trees by the river!
Organisers say “Bring family and friends, spread out a rug and have a picnic.”
Sat 10th June, 4pm: Celebrate the South Bank trees!
Queen’s Walk, SE1

Want to try your hands (and feet) at something completely different this weekend? Then get down to Regent’s Park for a Family Barn Dance!
Groups are split to accomodate both parents and children and experts will be on hand to guide you through some moves. Everybody say YEE-HAW!
Sun 11th June, 3pm- 5pm: Family Barn Dance
