Looking for some new events to learn something new or spend a lovely time? WhatsOn is back with 5 amazing events which are happening in these upcoming weeks and you shouldn’t miss out on them. You can choose your desirable day to enjoy these festivals.
Digital Portrait Drawing with London Drawing Group
Tuesday 20 July, 6:30 PM, Samsung KX
There was a time when being an artist meant setting up a rickety old easel at the top of a rickety old cliff and dolefully dabbing away at the oil paints while the wind howled and the rain poured down. Fancy something a little more 21st century? Try this digital portrait drawing class courtesy of the all-female art collective London Drawing Group. Using the ultra-slick Galaxy S7 +Tablet, you’ll learn how to make the most of the technology to deftly create your own little masterpiece.
Improv for Business with Hoopla
Thursday 29 July, 6:30 PM, Samsung KX
What’s scarier: standing up in a board meeting with no notes? Or, standing up on stage with no lines? This fun-but-genuinely-useful workshop uses the art of improv to help people gain the confidence and quick-thinking skills needed to smash it in the modern workplace. Run by Hoopla, who regularly works with Google and Facebook, the class is suitable for people who have absolutely never ever acted or attempted stand-up, and the teachers keep everything light, fun, and definitely unintimidating.
The Supercar Event
Saturday 24 July, 9:00 AM, Goodwood Racecourse, West Sussex
The Supercar Event, you can just be appreciating all these very fast vehicles for their design, beauty, speed and VERY LOUD ENGINES is a whole heap of fun you know. And sure, there are more than 80 of these gas guzzlers to stroke your eyeballs over but that’s not all.
Summer series of al fresco film screenings
Friday 9 July, Various venues, London
Do you like films and beautiful summer evenings? If yes, this is quite cool. You see, Pop Up Screens are combining cult films with a night under the stars from just £9. Its summer season runs from July 9 to September 19 and is taking in all corners of the city – from the center (Corams Fields, Guildhall) to out in the sticks (Hilly Fields, Ravenscourt Park) – so there should be screening within a stone’s throw of your yard. There’s plenty of choices, too. Want to spend a steamy couple of hours with prime-time-Swayze? ‘Dirty Dancing’, mate. Go for ‘Moonlight’. Plus there’s ‘Goonies’, ‘JoJo Rabbit’, ‘Grease’, ‘Jaws’, ‘Dreamgirls’ and loads more.
Silent Disco
Friday 30 July, Sea Life London Aquarium, Westminster
SEA LIFE London has launched their brand new jellyfish experience, so naturally, we’re hosting a silent disco in the world-famous water hole. You can enjoy some glowing headphones and tune in to one of three channels to be immersed into the world of water and as part of your trip, also enjoy a curated ‘chill-out tour’ of the brand new, fascinating jellyfish experience. It’s enlightening, sensory and it costs just £29. Plus, you’ll also receive a welcome drink on arrival.
