Who doesn’t love flicking through a quality broadsheet on a Sunday? It’s this sentiment that inspired the guys behind the Wilderness Festival to come up with Sunday Papers Live – a clever day of intelligent cultural pursuits, structured around the sections you’d usually find in a weekend paper. Taking place in a giant living room, this immersive event covers a number of journalistic topics in the form of conversations, performances, workshops and walks, led by some of the finest speakers and personalities in the capital. This edition’s line-up includes Channel 4’s Jon Snow (World News), comedian Andrew Maxwell (Columnist), Natty Cangeroo & The Flames of Rhythm (Music) and the 37-strong Wilderness Orchestra, who’ll be taking care of the film section by performing some of the greatest movie soundtracks. Plus, there are over 15 more guests on the bill taking on various themes across culture and lifestyle, while the food comes from cult faves The Breakfast Club and eco-chef Tom Hunt, who’ll be whipping up a banquet roast. Sounds like the kind of Sunday we could get used to… Sunday Papers Live takes place on November 24th at Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent’s Park Road.

Something you should do… Walk Like A Pirate Day

Community spirit can sometimes be slightly lacking in London. In a big city, it can be hard to get to know your neighbours – but it’s good to give back and being able to do it in a way that combines exploring London and raising money is a beautiful combination.

The Camden Pirate Castle is a wonderful community centre, based funnily enough by the lock in Camden, providing a place for young children to learn and play with boats and canoes, as well as offering an indoor space for various activities including yoga and tai-chi and all around doing valuable work for the local community. So join them for their fourth Walk Like A Pirate Day, a 12 mile walk on 22 June alongside London’s waterways to raise money for the centre.

Fancy dress is optional and with no charge to participate and no minimum sponsorship required, so it is a relaxed way to raise money for a great cause and take in the London river scenery.
The walk kicks off at 12pm outside Tottenham Hale tube station with a group photo and will end back at the Pirate House for celebratory drinks for all who survived.
