Circus
If you’ve been missing Circus (and we’re not talking Britney – though she has really come leaps and bounds with her latest threesome single, no?) then you’re in luck. Jodie Harsh’s massive club-night is back with a stellar line-up, including DJ sets from Paloma Faith, Kris di Angelis and Felicity Hayward, Bishi performing live, and entertainment from the ever-eccentric Scottee. We cant guarantee a Spears-style orgy, but there’ll be a fair bit of whip cracking action.

Affordable Art Fair
Left feeling a bit cold from Frieze? Didn’t get lucky with Free and the Zoo just wasn’t all it was cracked up to be? Head down to the Affordable Art Fair’s tenth anniversary show this weekend, where you can snap up arty originals from a meagre £50, with a glass of wine in hand. Make it three, four or five visits to the bar, and you might be walking away with a rather larger, ahem, investment, so imbibe wisely. UJ subscribers can get 2 for 1 tickets by printing off this page – so at least you’re saving a little there. Just don’t stumble into the park’s pond on your way home and reduce your watercolour to, well – water.

All Night Long
With a late license securely under their belts, this extra-long evening of stellar DJ sets and yes, a BBQ for the midnight munchies, is headlined by Horse Meat Disco’s amazing Severino, who will be rocking the dancefloor throughout a four hour set in the basement, whilst The Cosmic Truth provide disco and pop classics to those on the groundfloor. Fingers crossed for the Lionel Richie classic – to be consumed with cheeseburgers.

Salem Brownstone Spooktacular
Halloween only comes once a year, but, like Christmas, some people just can’t wait to get the festivities going. Cheers Comica. Join the creators of occult investigator Salem Brownstone for a night of creepy conversation, disquieting DJ sets by Jonny 'Spooky' Trunk of cult label Trunk Records, and late-night screenings of two of Kenneth Anger’s short films, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome and Invocation of My Demon Brother. Like the erecting of Christmas lights in October - FUN!

A Little Bazaar
Forget shizzy bits of homemade felt taped to a pin and called a brooch (ok, so I’ve had some pretty uninspiring bazaar experiences) – A Little Bazaar promises colourful streetwear and accessories from My Tribe Fashion, a manly jumble courtesy of Shoreditch’s own Delboy Dave Spikey, multidisciplinary art from Ester Kneen, retro kitsch from Crumpet & Skirt, and Japanese accessories by Miwa Princess Lunch. All in the cosy environs of The Book Club – so grab a game of ping-pong and some grub afterwards.

Oxjam Music Festival
This one-ticket, multi-venue, all-day and all-night long festival in aid of Oxfam sees the likes of DJ Blakey and The Mystery Jets take to the decks, live performances from A-Trak, Sub Focus and Screaming Tea Party, as well as Marawa the Amazing hoolahoop artist from La Clique, hairstyling by Daniel Galvin, the obligatory pop-up store, and a surreal café with floating teacups by Salon du Thé. Fighting poverty with music – doesn’t exactly suck, does it?
