It's "Kids go free to West End shows" time at the moment (for anyone under 17).

Cadogan Hall, Sloane Sq...twice weekly lunchtime Jazz performances throughout Aug '23. Free if you are willing to stand, £5 for a seat.

Two sets per show. I've been before and the performers are top notch (last week's included Jools Holland's band Saxophone 🎷 player)

Happy to meet for a coffee.

@mumsnet Sealife is only free for under 2s sadly 😞

HOLIDAY HALLOWEEN FUN!
If you’re looking for something to keep the kids occupied over the Holidays / Halloween I can recommend this. It’s got really cool designs and illustrations, and I was really surprised by the quality. The paper is good enough to take paints without bleed through. Our two (2 & 6) love it, in fact we had to get one each to stop fights! 🙄🤦‍♂️
