Free One Day Festy!

On Saturday 8 July there is a free music festival Rise: United London taking place in Finsbury Park, London to celebrate London's diversity and oppose racism.

Acts confirmed include Killa Kela, Sway, Roy Ayers, Graham Coxon, Buzzcocks, The Wailers, Mentor Kolectiv, Common, The Duke Spirit and DJ Kayper.

There's also a comedy tent with comedians including Ninia Benjamin, Tony Hendriks, Shazia Mirza and Zoe Lyons.

If you're taking the kids, the childrens play area and fair ground should keep them entertained.

Should be a good free day of fun!

    Big public events aren't really the right place for dogs. It's not advisable to take them, especially if it's a hot day and the animal is likely to be excited. This will only be exacerbated by the noise and large numbers of people.

    Very unwise indeed.
