Free Film Screenings – Elemental and Barbie
About: Come on down to Twickenham riverside for free screenings of hit films Elemental and Barbie.
Between the two screenings will be tennis from nearby Wimbledon to keep the summer festivities going – just remember it's BYOS (Bring Your Own Strawberries).
Organisers from Discover Twickenham say: "Turn up early, grab a deckchair, buy some food and drinks from the many great local outlets nearby, settle down, and enjoy!"
When: Both screenings are on Saturday 13 July. Elemental, 10am; Barbie, 7pm.
Where: Diamond Jubilee Gardens, 3 The Embankment, Twickenham, TW1 3DX.
Price: Free!
The Bootleg Beatles
About: Hampton Pool favourites, The Bootleg Beatles, are returning for 2024 for 'a magical mystery tour through the hits of The Beatles'.
Organisers say: "They are regarded less as a tribute, but more as a reincarnation of The Beatles!"
While we can't confirm or deny this claim, Nub News can hazard a guess that the group is as close as you can get to the real deal, having performed more than 4,500 shows on both national and global tours.
When: Friday 12 July, with doors opening from 7pm.
Where: Hampton Pool, High Street, Hampton, TW12 2ST.
Price: £35 for adult tickets, £18 for children between 4- and 12-years old.
Kingston Regatta
About: About: Watch some of the country's leading rowing clubs compete over two days on Kingston's beautiful stretch of the River Thames.
With 320 races set to take place over the two-day event, spectators can spend all weekend out on the banks of the Thames (so long as the weather holds up of course).
The event's licensed bar will be joined by a number of street food vendors, serving several pasta dishes (Soffritto), pork rolls & mac and cheese (Mr Pigstuff) and traditional wood-fired pizza (Dough Shack), helping give attendees the staying power to stick around all day!
When: All weekend – Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 July. Races will run from 8:30am to 6:30pm both days.
Where: River Thames, between Ravens Ait and Kingston Bridge. The enclosure, hosting food stalls, a bar, and other facilities, can be found on the riverbank on the Teddington-side, near Barge Wal and Home Park.
Price: Free entry.
