The Yurts at Westbourne Studios
Mourners of the passing Summer and its tent–filled festival fun will love this event, put together by the party wizards behind E.T.A., Winterwell and Disco Caviar. Take refuge in a bohemian paradise via a series of massive yurts, where you can dance the night away to live performances from The Nextmen, The Jinks, Cleen Boys, and E.T.A residents Adrian and Jimmy V who’ll be playing the best dancehall, drum ‘n’ bass, and real hip hop, sealed off from the outside world. It’s gonna be so good it ‘yurts. No? Really?

Art Barter
First there was the Free Art Fair (Jasper Joffe’s big giveaway), then there was the RCA Secret (choosing postcard sized art by potentially famous hands for a nominal sum). Now there’s Art Barter, because the art world is tired of freebies and your cash is useless. Instead, pick unsigned pieces by the likes of Tracy Emin, Nick Hornby, Gavin Turk and Abigail Lane, and offer an exchange – whether it’s your Mum’s priceless Ming vase, an offer of a cooked meal, or sexual favours (unless you end up with Emin, in which case that might make you part of her next artwork).

Pushca presents Manhattan & Queens
Bringing a dazzling taste of Studio 54 New York to British shores, Pushca is back from its Far Eastern fling and ready to shake it loose. Under the mantra ‘Dance like there’s no one watching and f*ck like you’re being filmed’ (we’re really hoping it’s euphemistic), dress in your finest roller girl, electrogogo, discotheque outfits, come as human mirror balls, breakdancing Warhols and Grace Jones look–a–likes, and enjoy a line–up that includes Joe Le Groove, Tony English, Jael and Alan K.

Bibulous Pop Up World of Drinks
Tasting tables, sampling sessions, cocktail stations, and a wines and beers zone make up this huge world of drinks in the already tasty Borough Market. Work your way around The Green & Red Bar & Cantina Tequila Taste–Ins, Chairman's Rum shack–vintage van, Absinthe classes, and a Bacardi Mojito cocktail lounge, just to start. There’ll also be a Spirits Amnesty, where you can bring in your embarrassing, dusty old bottles for a cocktail trade in, and a gifting concierge for the hard–to–buy–for friends in your life, whose names, ages and addresses you’ll have forgotten after ten minutes in here. Chrishhhhmassh who?

Bluebird Christmas Shopping Weekend
Bluebird is already a firm favourite thanks to its innovative interiors and well–curated designer collections, as well as its witty seasonal refits including a grassy Wimbledon–esque courtyard this Summer. Now it’s getting kitted out for Yuletide, transforming into a Christmas Wonderland, Old & New for the weekend. There’ll be beautiful vintage and antique one–of–a–kinds, as well as top brand names, mulled wine, entertainment and festive food.

Crepe City
Get your street side out for this, the capital’s first ‘sneaker festival’ which is taking over the Notting Hill Arts Club with arty streetwear and trainer stalls, displays, fresh crepes (somewhat mysteriously, but hey, we’ll take it) a nail bar, and retro films, before the night kicks off with hip hop, dancehall, garage and grime courtesy of The Heatwave, Alexander Nut, FunkinEven, Reecha and more.
