The best free events this weekend 7-9 August
By Manolis Zografakis
As always, there are several nice free events in London this weekend. On Friday, there is the outdoor free screening of the movie Mission Impossible starring Tom Cruise in Sheldon Square as well as the launch of the promising mini music festival Cross Fest in New Cross. If you love theatre you should head down to Southbank where you can enjoy free open air theatre and if you are a vinyl fan you should visit the 4th edition of the Peckham Independent Label Fair at The Peckham Pelican. Finally, on Saturday and Sunday the British Museum transports visitors to Bronze Age via virtual reality which sounds really cool and we would love to give it a try. So, without further ado we present our Top 5 Free Events in London this weekend 7-9 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.
