Try your hand at the ancient art of rag rug making this weekend.

Using recycled fabrics, hessian and a wonderful 'rag rugger', learn the skills needed to create your own rug, cushion or wall hanging. 

Attendees are welcome to use the materials provided, or bring their own – even old clothes work, with t-shirts being very well-suited.

The workshop runs from 10:15am to 1:15pm. Tickets cost £45.

Twickenham's go-to jazz venue is hosting the Radhika de Saram Quintet, featuring keyboard player Ivo Neame.

This London-based project by Radhika de Saram will perform Radhika's original compositions, both from her debut album 'From the Crow's Nest' as well as brand new material that they have been working on. 

You can expect to hear influences from jazz, world music and Sri Lankan folk song and rhythm.

Describing Radhika de Saram's work, The Jazz Mann said: "Her writing is intelligent, multi-faceted and admirably diverse."

The show will run from 7:45pm to 11pm at The Jazz Sanctuary in The Turks Head. General admission tickets are £18.
