080 - February Events 🗓
It may be the shortest month of the year, but February is jam-packed with great ways to experience the city. Here’s just a few of the London events we’re looking forward to over the next 29 days!
February 1-29
Black History Month 🎉
This year’s celebrations kick off at Museum London on Saturday Feb 1 and continue through the month with film, food and more before the party wraps on the 29th at Wolf Performance Hall with a closing ceremony full of song, dance and spoken word. Keep an eye on The London Black History Coordinating Committee for all the details.
Yaya’s Kitchen is also hosting two supper clubs for Black History Month on the 8th and 22nd (Update: SOLD OUT!) that are bound to be as delicious as they are celebratory!
