We are celebrating World Smile Day today – invented by the creator of the smiley face symbol, Harvey Ball.
If you’re into knitting and sewing you’ll be smiling about the fantastic Knitting and Stitching Show on at Ally Pally at the moment and all weekend.

There are over 200 stands of all sorts of stuff from quilting materials

to a wonderful range of coloured wool for your delectation. And if this isn’t your thing then maybe you will find something to make you smile at the East Finchley Arts Festival.

With art,

music,

theatre,

poetry – and so much more on offer, from Saturday 8 October until 16 October. There’s bound to be something you will love. See their website for details: http://www.eastfinchleyartsfestival.org.uk/
