Chrimbo stuff from local shops |
The shops may not be open at the moment, but there are loads of fantastic independent businesses delivering decorations to give your house a merry feel. So there’s nothing stopping you from engaging in the strange yearly ritual of covering your house in garish flashing lights and cramming a fir tree into your living room. | |

Stuff for you to do this weekend |
|
You’ll want a subwoofer for this |
On Sunday, the No Bass Like Home festival will be live-streaming a full afternoon of reggae from Jamaica, Florida and Brent. A celebration of the genre as a whole, it will also have deep dives into the north-west London borough’s reggae history, featuring interviews and archival footage. |
The best of the rest: |
Gifting season Have a browse of the Rugby Portobello Trust online Christmas market and pick up a few prezzies for a good cause.
Get spicy Put your aprons on and take an Indian cooking class just in time for Diwali. Authentic samosas, curry, jelly sweets and more.
Arty bargains Purchase a reasonably priced painting, statue or other artwork at this curated and completely online fair.
Check out our full list of the best events, updated every day. | |
