Woop, Friday’s back around! As ever we bring you our fave FREE and Skint friendly (sub-a-tenner) things to do this weekend.

=====

If the kids need a spot of entertaining for FREE – in the foulest way possible – why not hit up the Museum of London where they’re rediscovering The Great Stink.

The afternoon of story-telling will be looking at the stenchy summer of 1858. Discover all about Victorian pollution and all things foul that occurred on the banks of The Thames 150 years ago. Fascinating and yukky.

Sat 15th & Sun 16th Feb, 12pm, 2pm & 3pm (sessions are 30 mins): The Great Stink
Museum of London Docklands, No.1 Warehouse, West India Quay, E14 4AL
FREE – drop in. Suitable for ages 5+. For more info click here

Swap your unwanted clothes for some totally different threads at the FREE to enter Swish & Style in North Finchley.

All you need to do is bring along (relatively) decent condition men’s, women’s or kids’ clobber and get trading. Just think of all those unwanted outfits in your wardrobe…. get rid and grab something different. Like the organisers are saying; Swap Don’t Shop!

Sat 15th, 1pm – 4pm: Swish & Style
artsdepot, 5 Nether Street, Tally Ho Corner, N12 0GA
FREE to enter. For a full list of stuff to bring (and not to bring) click here

If you want to throw some shapes this weekend, head to Hackney for an afternoon cheek-to-cheek at The nightlife of Queer Tango.

There’ll be dance tutorials interspersed with the occasional short talk about the history of same sex dancing from Dr Ray Batchelor. Organisers at the Hoxton Square event are describing it as a queer celebration of after dark, same-sex tango.
