Festivals Music Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 13 Nov: Mulled Wine Festival, Staying Alive, London Jazz Festival
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 6 November 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Mulled Wine Festival | Covent Garden Piazza | 12-14 Nov
You know, I am not generally hugely comfortable with the idea of Christmassy things happening in early November, but you know, booze is involved, so of course I’m down with this. Plus, you could argue, I suppose, that mulled wine is a winter thing, not a Christmas thing, so it’s all good. This actually starts on the 12 Nov, but I thought this seemed like more of a Friday night after work sort of thing to do. Get more info from this page here.
Staying Alive | Pleasance Theatre Islington | 10-29 Nov
This deals with some very sad subject matter, and given how hard it is to deal with a heart-rending loss, and how much difficulty people often have in knowing how to deal with their friends or loved ones who have experienced it, I can’t help thinking this kind of exploration is important. Developed in conjunction with bereavement charity SLOW, Kat Roberts’ piece deals with the death of a child, and looks at how, in the wake of great tragedy, we find ways to survive.

London Jazz Festival | various venues | 13-22 Nov
Another festival now, and this time it’s jazz, which is almost as good as mulled wine, I suppose, though possibly not quite. This long running and highly regarded festival returns with 300+ gigs to choose from, though, it may be a bit fewer than that now because I hear quite a lot of events have already sold out. On this, the first night, I’d struggle to choose between Saleena Jones and Lizzie Emeh, but there are loads of others, so have a look here and see what takes your fancy.
