It’s Saturday May 19, it’s a beautiful spring day, and there’s only one event that matters in Britain right now: the tree identification walk in Highgate Wood, London – “join the staff for a guided walk looking at how you can identify trees by their leaves, bark and other identifiers”.
OK, that’s not strictly true.
The band Tokyo SexWail are also playing Deptford Cinema to help celebrate a mini-festival of punk movies that “chart almost a hundred years of filmmaking resistance to the monarchy”. For some reason they’re calling it “Deptford Cinema does the Royal Wedding”.
And it’s the first day of the Spring Steam and Real Ale Weekend on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. Plus there’s a football match due to kick-off in north London, and since it’s a Saturday in spring there’s bound to a wedding or two happening somewhere.
To keep up with all the excitement, read this liveblog:
