The best free events this weekend 21-23 August

By Manolis Zografakis

There are a lot of great free things to do in London this weekend. We are excited about John Luther Adam’s latest work Across A Distance where horn players will be playing separately, outside, around the Southbank Centre so that listeners can discover the music as they wander around the area. On Saturday, there is the free open air screening of the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood at the lovely Floating Cinema and on Sunday the Old Dalston Market at Epic Dalston for the vintage lovers. Moreover, there is a nice free 2-day live art event that takes place on Saturday and Sunday at the Barbican as well as the 5th week of the River Stage with free outdoor entertainment on the river, in front of the National Theatre. So, without further ado we present our Top 5 Free Events in London this weekend 21-23 August 2015. By the way, if our top 5 isn’t enough for you have a look at the Top 10 Free events this month and the free film screenings in August.
