1. Play Crazy Golf & Eat Pizza in Shoreditch

Well take a trip down to Swingers, a 7000-square-foot warehouse in Shoreditch (where else?) complete with crazy golf fun. They have a vintage style 1920s bar and dancefloor to celebrate or commiserate your game, and food courtesy of Pizza Pilgrims to soak up the cocktails.
When: The fun will tee off from 6:30 on Thursday, September 25th and runs until December 20th.

2. Eat Meat & Instagram Things in Dalston
What: Attention all foodies and bacon fans, Pork Life are holding an event in Dalston celebrating your favourite snack.
