On Saturday, head to Somerset House from 11-1 or 2-4:30 to make snowflakes and icicle mobiles.
In the free holiday workshop, children of all ages can create a glittering vision of wintry cool to hang up at home using frosty, icy patterns and stained glass effects!
Also on Saturday, visit the Roman Road Market for some Christmas shopping. There will also be free ice skating on the temporary rink on Usher Road (off Roman Road).
Santa will be out and about roaming ‘the Roman’ handing out gifts to children under 11 years old ‘whether they’ve been naughty or nice’.
And you can warm up with a free hot drink and nibbling on a mince pie whilst listening to local choirs performing cheerful carols or the brass band at Gladstone Place.
On Sunday, check out Christmas on the Canal at the grand opening of City Road Basin in Islington.
Festive activities include Christmas markets, boat trips, Santa’s Grotto on board the Angel boat, Carol singing, a snow machine, mulled wine and mince pies and a giant tree Christmas lights switch-on.
