Now we all know millennials love a cactus – right? The easiest plants to look after, they’re perfect for a busy lifestyle. Well how about a three day show filled with cacti?

If you’re a cactus kinda person, over two hundred plants are up for grabs at the three-day annual cactus show. And the best plants could win prizes!

Like a bit of glitter? How about 50 kilograms of confetti, pumped onto the dance floor all night long?

Well Glitterfest comes to London’s Metropolis Club on Sunday – with live dancers, performers and hip hop. You can also let off some steam to house, R’n’B and garage…

 

3. London in the sky

Reach new heights this bank holiday by eating in the sky. Yes, that’s right – your table will be suspended one hundred feet in mid-air!

You can have breakfast, a boozy brunch or a fancy sunset dinner. The table gently spins from time to time too. Sound relaxing?

Below you can views of the 02 and Greenwich – and if you love the adrenaline rush, you can lean even tilt your seat back! Selfies are encouraged.

 

2. Spain comes to London

Sort of… A free Spanish festival arrives this weekend. Feria De Londres has it all – flamenco dancing, traditional music shows and traditional Spanish food.

You can tuck into tapas and paella at Bernie Spain Gardens, near the Oxo Tower in London.

1. Legendary live music

If you’ve dreamed of seeing The Strokes and The Chemical Brothers live, you don’t have to wait long. They’re headlining at All Points East, a festival coming to London’s Victoria this weekend.
