Just five more weekends until Christmas – so you may be forgiven for doing a bit of shopping but there are other distractions if you’ve done all that!
We’ve been promised a cold snap but if it’s some real winter atmosphere you’re craving you’ll get it at Somerset House.

Here’s what they say: ‘Enjoy the perfect winter day out at London’s most beautiful ice rink. By day, skate in our stunning courtyard or join us after dark when we host exclusive Club Nights with music from top international DJs. Relax après-skate at Fortnum’s Lodge or shop at the pop up Fortnum’s Christmas Arcade.’ www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/skate-somerset-house

A bit of culture? There are still tickets for Saturday night’s performance of Twelfth Night, Upstairs at The Gatehouse, Highgate. http://www.upstairsatthegatehouse.com/twelfthnight

Sun 20th Nov 11:30 – 16:30
‘Finchley Women’s Institute and Stephens House & Gardens are hosting our 6th Annual Frost Fair. There will be lunches served in the dining room and the W.I. will be running their delicious home-made cake stall. Along with art and craft stalls there will be activities including a tombola and more.’ http://www.stephenshouseandgardens.com/events/frost-fair-with-the-finchley-womens-institute
Happy weekend everybody.
