FOR some the four-day weekend means solemn contemplation, for others family reunions and for many, the opportunity for a very long sesh. Yet ambitions beyond that don’t have to stay low due to worries over money. Here’s the best of London’s free events, exhibitions and parties that should be on your radar over the Easter weekend.
Strictly Vinyl Free Easter Thursday Special
A good local boozer that turns a bit dancey? Please. These are the sorts of slightly pubby, slightly clubby nights that don’t seem to kick around as much as they once did. At the Horatio on Holloway Road, it’s free entry and two-for-one cocktails with a DJ until midnight focusing on soul, funk, R&B and disco. Pro tip: eat at Sambal Shiok (sambalshiok.co.uk) opposite before dancing the night away. ⬤ Horatia Pub, April 6; thehoratia. co.uk
The Dysfunctional Easter Sunday
From 11pm on Sunday until 6am Monday, Dysfunctional take over the heady club Lightbox in Vauxhall. This under-thearches haunt is always packed and free tickets are still available for the main Sunday night bash — just create a free account on Resident Advisor. DJs Art E Fact, Essence and Sophie Lorena are all in the line up set to take you into Monday morning. ⬤ Lightbox, April 9; ra.co
The Passion of Jesus
For those looking to celebrate the true meaning of Easter, Trafalgar Square is hosting its annual free performance; The Passion of Jesus. Performed this year from noon until five by the Wintershall players, expect this event to be very busy as it usually draws a considerable crowd. ⬤ Trafalgar Square, April 9; london. gov.uk
