Four days off, people! Need we say more? Our personal picks for this weekend include the Torture Garden and Last Tuesday Society balls, the art of Rob Flowers, and the manic goings-on of Scottee and Miss Harsh. And if you've ever got anything coming up that you think might be worth a look, then please do drop us a line.

This weekend's Guide is brought to you together with the Stuttgart Ballet and their performance of John Cranko's acclaimed production of Romeo and Juliet. We've got five pairs of tickets to their stunning London Coliseum performances to give away to Urban Junkies subscribers, so click here for more information.

Rob Flowers: Come Here Private View
The world of Rob Flowers (and yes, that is indeed his real name) is a curious one. A land of Victorian sideshows, where conjoined twins dance with ringmaster skeletons, where dishes forcefully abduct spoons, giant furry freaks pose like royalty and a coven of hamburgers dance beneath a Hallowe'en moon.

Swap-a-Rama Razzmatazz
Ah, Easter. That great celebration of fertility, resurrection, chocolate, chicks, rabbits, and pop-infused nudity. Nothing quite like it really. So, starting as you mean to go on, head East, grab a beverage or two at the bar and make loads of new 'friends' as you dance the night away, shedding clothes in the name of musical sociability for this attire-swapping, bunny-eared special.

Billy Childish: I Fill All Your Dreams
Another deliciously playful artist, Billy Childish is a man of more talents than should be fair. Curated by artist and critic Neal Brown, this new exhibition at the appropriately mischievous Aquarium Gallery brings together a collection of Childish's latest paintings and woodcuts, plus three new volumes of poetry, and a gorgeous catalogue with an introductory essay by the esteemed Morgan Falconer.

East Village All-Dayer
Already settling into its stride, East London's latest, biggest, refreshingly least ironic dance venue is letting loose with this huge weekender. And if you can only make it down to one East Village set this week, make it today's, as Detroit's Omar S is over to head up the house-centric basement antics and Horse Meat Disco collides full force with Disco Bloodbath and a host of London micro-legends upstairs.

The Spring Masked Ball
Wouldn't life be so dreary without the Last Tuesday Society? I mean to say, how else could we celebrate the emergence of sweet Lady Spring, the Resurrection of the Christ, and a simultaneous full moon without a decent, decadent masked ball of blind portraitists, a twisted punch and judy, gypsy punk, yesterday's cakes, a cheese board, broken toys and hearts alike, and lashings of gin?

Pin Up's Carboot Bingo
If the idea of your senile granny wielding a stamp pen and two fat ladies haven't put you off bingo forever, do it carbooty style: don some recycled outfits and win the chance to play some classic records sourced from, yup, you guessed it, car boot sales. But if all that's not excitement enough, Hot Chip and Hinge & Bracket are providing some more 'professional' musical respite.

Torture Garden Easter Ball
Easter is supposed to be about Christ, and at a push, rabbits and chocolate you dirty perverts, not 'play equipment' in fetish rooms and an enforced dress code of kinky crucifications and bondage bunnies. But if you must indulge in the dark side, you may as well go all out.

Mr. Fast Lane's All Night Multicolor Incredible
With guaranteed riot-starters like Stunners International, Jamie Klaxon, Rory Philps, The Lovely Jonjo, and 1234's emperor, Sonic McLusky in the DJ line-up, this warehouse party would be already set to be a cracker. Throw in a veritable tonne of live sets from up and coming 1234 stars like Sportsday Megaphone and The Slips, and they're really just spoiling you.

LondonFGSS 1st Birthday
Only if your head's been stuck in the office sandpit should you have missed the masses of fixed gear and single speed bikes pulling tricks, playing polo, and generally having a giggle as they slalom their colour-coordinated way through the incessant traffic jams. Central to the subculture's community in London, the LondonFGSS website celebrates its first birthday with a slew of fixed-related shenanigans, plus DJs and a bar for those less cycular.

Issue
One part club night, one part conceptual art, one part trashy mag, Scottee and Jodie Harsh's latest social institution, Issue, returns for its second instalment of all-out, weekend-concluding (only it isn't: hurrah!), fabulously dressed capers. And, since this is the Art issue, expect things to get even stranger, as the hostess with the mostess weaves her irrepressible party sorcery for Hoxton's underlit beaux and belles.

Wet Yourself Super Soaker
Perhaps the one night of the week when wetting yourself is practically encouraged, hop in the in-club pool and bunny bounce about to the dirty techno and deep, glitchy minimal at this Easter long-weekend special, which promises to be extra filthy, extra wet, and extra memorable. Just like Jesus imagined it.

Afrikokoa
Residents AJ Kwame from Runways and Baggy host this suitable chilled evening of African-inspired music, featuring Arun Ghosh and Aref Durvesh playing live, with his signature fusion of Indian heritage and London jazz. Poetry, dancing, storytelling and guests DJ Nick V from Paris and Afrogroov's Eric Soul are thrown into the mix too.

Durrr
If you've ever actually been to Eel Pie Island, it can seem pretty odd that anything as impressive as Pete Townshend's Eel Pie Studios or the legendary Hotel could ever have emerged from that tiny, fifty-odd household mini-island in Twickenham. The Mystery Jets, the latest champions of all things Eel-ish, however, are back with another brillinat album which they're here cranking out at everyone's favourite Monday night regular.
