Draw and Tour Southwark Cathedral’s Monuments in Southwark

On Saturday morning, Southwark Cathedral are putting on an event where budding artists can come along and take a tour of the monuments and tombs within. Whilst exploring the history of the Cathedral, artists will have the opportunity to sketch some of the monuments and glorious architecture of this astonishing place of worship. You will be escorted around by one of the very knowledgeable Cathedral Guides who will share stories behind the monuments as well as the people who are remembered within them. The tour will last for an hour, giving you plenty of time to sketch throughout the tour. With only limited spaces available for this tour, this is creative and educational way to spend your Saturday morning.

Soapbox Science on Southbank

This Saturday Soapbox Science comes to London’s Southbank. Soapbox Science is a public outreach platform that promotes female scientists and allowing to show the public what they do, whilst also acting as a public arena for learning and scientific debate. This is an opportunity for the scientists to showcase their projects and latest discoveries to the public and to bring awareness to gender inequality in science by challenging the public’s view of women and science. Entering its 7th year, this is also a great way to get the kids interested and excited about science and to question and probe some of the world’s leading scientists!

Lucy Beech & Edward Thomasson: Together at Tate Britain on Millbank

Art Now at Tate Britain is a series of exhibitions that focus on new and recent work by emerging artists. As part of this series, Lucy Beech and Edward Thomasson will be presenting a new performance project that takes place in two parts and explores ideas surrounding cooperation and independence. The recording of the performances will be showing in the gallery throughout the week but to get the full effect, you should take yourself along to the live performance of the piece on Saturday afternoon. Working in couples, a group of performers will collectively create a safe space to momentarily reject shared social standards. This exhibition is free and is only a short walk along the Thames from our Westminster office.
