The best free events this weekend 16-18 October

By Manolis Zografakis

This weekend there weren’t that many great free events. However, I’ve managed to find the top 5 free things to do in London this weekend 16-18 October. Be sure not to miss Saatchi Gallery’s latest exhibition – Chanel Mademoiselle Privé – about the life and legacy of Coco Chanel which runs till the end of the month. Paper Dress Vintage re-opened in Hackney and this weekend they throw an amazing 2 days launch party with live music and DJ sets. On Saturday there are 2 interesting parties, a techno one at The Star of Kings in Kings Cross and a world music one at The Forge in Camden. Finally, if you love chocolate you should visit the Chocolate Museum in Brixton where there is a permanent exhibition about chocolate history and process and you can taste delicious chocolates from great uk artisans chocolatiers. If our top 5 isn’t enough for you have a look at the free film screenings in London and the Top 10 Free events in October. Enjoy the weekend!
