This weekend brings a packed Friday night of music and comedy, a free family afternoon at the gallery, and the usual Sunday market in Town Square. Here's where to spend your time.
Friday night
Things kick off early with the Family Friendly Language Exchange (German) at The Old Station Yard Cafe, a relaxed drop-in for German learners and speakers running into the afternoon.
From 5pm, Heavy Psych Sounds brings a night of heavy psych bands to Signature Brew Blackhorse Road. Over at the Leyton Star, Lucky For Some offers a one-off night of drink specials and hourly giveaways from 7pm, with a grand prize of fizz and a karaoke voucher.
Comedy fans can catch Daniel Foxx: How Lovely. at Soho Theatre Walthamstow from 7.30pm, from £22, as he works through a breakup via modern dating, home décor and skincare.
Walthamstow Trades Hall has two options from 8pm: New Bands Night - Knock On Wood Presents upstairs, with electro-funk-blues duo Circus of Bones, psych-folk act Dogs Are Fools and alt-rockers Fat Chance Slim and the Circling Fins, and the General Echo Reggae Disco downstairs, a monthly reggae night welcoming Soul Rockers Sound System over from Tuscany, tickets on the door.
Saturday
Families are well looked after at the William Morris Gallery, where Family Day: Useful and Beautiful is a free drop-in from 1pm to 4pm making copper-embossed candlestick artwork, inspired by the gallery's Earthly Paradise exhibition.
In the evening, head to All Saints Church in Highams Park for the Okan Ersan Electric Band, contemporary electric jazz fusion from the internationally recognised guitarist's five-piece band, from 8pm. Tickets are £20 in advance, £25 on the door, or £10 for students and MU members.
Sunday
Start the day at the Walthamstow Farmers Market in Town Square, 10am to 2pm, free to browse, with fresh produce, artisan bread and cheeses from the regular stallholders.
At 1pm, Walthamstow Trades Hall hosts Gaybourhood East Ceilidh!, a free, inclusive Scottish ceilidh for queer families with kids of all ages, with live music from Stroma, running until 3pm.
