Indian Summer party
|
|
| What: Indian Summer party |
| Where: Pumphouse, Battersea |
| When: 6-10pm, 24th September |
|
|
Celebrate London’s Indian Summer (fingers crossed) with a free party at the gorgeous Battersea Pump House,
a gallery set in, yes, an old pump house, in the most bucolic part of Battersea Park. Prepare yourself for a candlelit evening of esoteric autumnal whoopee, with Arcadian views of the lake. Delights include a moonlight serenade by Organ Octet, a reading of Anna & The Witch's Bottle, a mini-Gin Palace hosted by Sacred Gin (where you’ll get a free drink), a performance from thespian strings group Collectress, a delectable gourmet BBQ by Butcher & Grill, and a chance to place your bets on the Terrier Derbys.

Check out the Pump House’s current exhibition – works by Robert Stone, featuring a gorilla being stood up on a blind date and parachuting fashionistas.

Bite the Mango
|
|
| What: Bite the Mango |
| Where: Bradford |
| When: 26th to 27th September |
|
|
Bradford’s Bite the Mango
rounds up the best of contemporary ethnic world cinema this weekend. On show are the best, newest films from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Turkey. Bhardwaj’s Bollywood smash hit Omkara – the story of Othello transferred to rustic Uttar Pradesh – will be accompanied by a classical South Indian dance performance. There’s a selection of films suitable for children, from the wonderful Iranian White Balloon to the visually mindblowing Baraka, and for Hip Hop historians, there’s also Hip-Hop at the Movies, showing classics, such as Beat Street, Do the Right Thing, and Boyz in the Hood.
Bradford is famous for its curries, so eat out at Kashmir (25-27 Morley St), the city’s oldest curry house, featuring fantastically good food, cheap as chips prices, and a BYO policy.

Bike Blenheim Palace
| What: Bike Blenheim Palace |
| Where: Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire |
| When: 4th October |
|
|
|
|
Early October offers a rare chance to cycle around the lushest of World Heritage Sites, the vividly green, oak-shaded Blenheim Park estate. The park centres on the fantastical mansion designed by Sir John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor in the 18th century, and Bike Blenheim Palace
is not only a chance to pedal around the spectacular grounds, but also celebrates cycling in all its forms. Shows, events and curiosities include vintage bikes, bike polo championships, a mountain bike stunt team, British Cycling's 'Go Ride' cycle skills for children, cyclo-cross, and a 20km time trial.
Snuggle into the snugs and indulge in some intellectual conversation at Tolkein’s former local in Oxford, the 17th-century Eagle & Child (49 St Giles).
