A Little Tip-Off
Four things worth doing with the family this weekend.
|
| Dragons, Dog Man's Last Bow, and a Carnival Send-Off |
|
| It's a big weekend for last chances: Wes Anderson's blockbuster at the Design Museum and Dog Man: The Musical both close on Sunday, so if either's been sitting on your maybe-list, this is it. The forecast's decent, dry with some sun both days, but everything below happens indoors or under cover anyway, so it won't much matter what the sky does. Dragons and fairy tales at the British Library, Dog Man's closing shows, Wes Anderson's last hurrah, and a free Carnival send-off at the Barbican. Four ways to spend it... |
