    London Buzzing with Incredible Weekend Events Across Art, Music, Theater, and More
    2026/01/23
    London is absolutely buzzing this weekend with incredible events that'll keep you entertained from now through Sunday. Whether you're into art, music, theater, or just need a good time out with friends, there's something magical happening across the city.

    Starting today and running through Sunday, the London Short Film Festival takes over cinemas across the capital. Over the next ten days, you'll have access to hundreds of short films from new voices, acclaimed directors, and underground discoveries. It's perfect if you want to discover fresh cinema without committing to a full-length feature.

    If you're an art lover, the London Art Fair runs through Sunday at its venue in Angel. You'll find a curated selection of modern and contemporary galleries from the UK and around the world, with works from legends like Francis Bacon and Tracey Emin. The really exciting part is that they're displaying never-before-exhibited pieces from The National Trust's collection of surrealist and post-war abstract works.

    Tomorrow kicks off Burns Night celebrations across London on Sunday, and the city's going all out. Soho's Sussex restaurant is hosting the Gladwin Brothers' legendary Burns Night celebrations with whisky cocktails, highland fling dancing, and a live bagpiper. Meanwhile, Bethnal Green's The Sun Tavern is partnering with Aberfeldy for a special one-day-only cocktail menu with free haggis canapés. If you want something different, a Bagpipe Pub Crawl will guide you through three West London pubs led by a live bagpiper, or head to Pick and Cheese Camden where Scottish cheesemakers are taking over the conveyor belts.

    For live music, you've got Tommy Emmanuel performing at Cadogan Hall on Friday and Saturday, and several big names hitting venues this weekend including All Time Low at The O2 on Saturday.

    Theater fans should definitely catch something before shows close. Monument at the Royal Court wraps up tomorrow after exploring a Welsh farming community torn apart by tragedy. If you want something opening, Arcadia launches at The Old Vic tomorrow and runs through March, featuring two similar stories of genius separated by two centuries.

    Don't miss the Canary Wharf Winter Lights Festival running through January thirty-first, celebrating its tenth anniversary with a theme called Dreamscape that transforms the area into a landscape of discovery and possibility.

    Over in Canary Wharf, the Winter Lights are creating a magical atmosphere through January thirty-first. This free light trail features stunning illuminated artworks scattered throughout the area, and you can even catch some ice skating while you're there. The rink stays open through February, making it one of London's longest-running winter skating spots.

    Saturday brings some fantastic cultural experiences. The Young V&A is hosting a Story Festival with free events and performances for children and families from eleven in the morning until three in the afternoon.

It's depicting tennis legend Jimmy Connors' incredible comeback at the nineteen ninety-one US Open, and these are the final performances of the run.

    Sunday offers equally exciting options. The Adams Antiques Fair opens at the Royal Horticultural Halls in Westminster with one hundred thirty dealers from across the UK selling jewellery, silver, and collectables. Arrive early as queues do tend to form before doors open at ten in the morning.

    For something more relaxed, the Smithfield Market Walk is an adults-only guided tour at three in the afternoon, exploring the history around this historic area near where the new London Museum will open later this year.
