We plan your weekend, so you don’t have to – with access into private gardens, a brand new contemporary art exhibition and a hilarious movie option to keep you and the rest of the family entertained.
SNEAK A PEAK AT NATURE
This Saturday and Sunday is the annual Open Garden Squares Weekend, giving Londoners a chance to see gardens that are usually kept closed to the public. There will be 46 open gardens in Kensington and Chelsea, and for the first time the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Royal Hospital Road, is opening its tranquil gardens usually used for horticultural therapy. For tickets, costing from £7.50, click here or call 020 8347 3230.
APPRECIATE ART
Check out the new collection at Chelsea’s Northcote Gallery, 253 King’s Road. From yesterday (8 June) the gallery has brought in a host of new exhibitors, including contemporary paintings from Tom Homewood – who paints a mix of people, animals, places and still life – as well as modern landscape artist Jonathan McCree. The Mixed Exhibition is on at the Northcote Gallery until 30 June. Open Tuesday to Sunday.
TAKE THE KIDS TO A MOVIE
Enjoy some animated family fun this weekend with Kung Fu Panda 2, following loveable panda Po as he joins forces with a group of kung fu masters to take on an old enemy who plans to conquer China and destroy kung fu. With hilarious gags and a star-studded cast of Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Gary Oldman and more. Showing in 3D from Friday at Cineworld, 279 King’s Road.
