For the more musical among you, The Eel Pie Club's Cabbage Patch has you covered. 

Slim Chance has its origin in the early 70s, formed by the legendary and brilliant songwriter, Ronnie Lane, who has been a mainstay of both the Small Faces and The Faces.

Slim Chance today is a tight band of good friends which has evolved around three of Ronnie's band - Steve Bingham, Charlie Hart and Steve Simpson. They will be joined by Brendan O'Neill, Frank Mead and Des Horsfall. 

Together they will deliver a unique and entertaining show, both joyous and of a high musical calibre.

Along for the ride is guitarist and vocalist Tim Hain as the opening act.

Doors open at 7:45pm at The Cabbage Patch across from Twickenham Station. First set starts at 8:30pm.

Twice a year – in Spring and Autumn – the Landmark Art Centre hosts its iconic art fairs, providing individual artists a unique setting to exhibit and sell their work directly to the public.

No galleries, no dealers, just the artists themselves with a stunning array of painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, printmaking, ceramics and more.

Visitors can browse from an array of over 75 stands with artists from the local area and beyond, from watercolour paintings to textural ceramic sculptures.

The fair runs from 4pm to 8:30pm on Friday, and from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. Adult tickets cost £5.

Help reduce your waste footprint and get your bits and bobs repaired.

Twickenham Repair Café says: "Not only will we do our best to sort them out, but we will show you how to do it for next time!"

There is no need to book, but the team asks you only bring one item with you as the cafe can get very busy.

The repair cafe runs from 10:30am to 1pm on the third Saturday of every month.
