NEON MOON 26 OCT, JUNCTION, FROM £20 The city’s hottest Halloween party is back for a night of cocktails and fancy-dressed fun.
To the sprawling meadows in Abbots Ripton which used to host Secret Garden Party comes We Out Here: a brand-new, weekend-long festival. Curated by 6 Music DJ Gilles Peterson, the line-up joins the musical dots between soul, hip hop, house, afro, electronica, jazz and beyond, serving up both live acts and DJ sets. FromMr Scruff to Sons of Kemet, Josey Rebelle and Zara McFarlane, it’s a brilliantly eclectic line-up, with the promise of a big, welcoming party celebrating the best of UK club culture. There are standard camping and luxury or family options, and plenty to get stuck into around the site, including open-air cinema screenings, an indie record fair, yoga and well-being sessions, arts and crafts activities and even a high-speed running club (Run Dem Crew). And forget limp burgers and greasy chips; the food offering at We Out Here includes a pop-up restaurant and wine bar from esteemed East London eaterie Brawn, Indian Fusion dishes from En Root and freshly rolled vegan sushi from Happy Maki. Tickets are £167 for the long weekend, which is 15 to 18 August. weouttherefestival.com WE OUT HERE FESTIVAL
