The Old Queen’s Head Fourth Birthday
With her boozer mentality and octogenarian-sounding moniker, you’d be forgiven for thinking The Old Queen’s Head was well into her pension days – but alas – she’s younger than your last partner, but twice as forgiving. Celebrating four grand years of gigs, guest DJs and acoustic Sunday soirees, tonight’s party features spin-time from Foals and Chew lips, Primary One, Warrior One and Tidy’Rhythm to knock the electro (pop)socks off revellers wishing her many happy returns.

Design Overtime
The Design Museum’s monthly late night shindig features a February stick up by none other than its own local Designers in Residence. These five emerging designers will be splashing their unique visions around the space, packing it with talks, tasks and trails – plus you’ll get access to all of the museum’s current exhibitions too, which includes the newly opened Brit Insurance Designs of the Year. Dubbed ‘The Oscars of the Design World’, it features everything from the High Line Park in New York to Beth Ditto’s range for Evans and pieces by the late, great Alexander McQueen.

Scrap Club
Ever feel like going a little rock’n’roll, heaving the old (non HD-ready) TV out of the window and taking a baseball club to your ex’s Playstation? For the angst–ridden, aggressive amongst you (man we love our subscribers), Scrap Club could be the answer – turn up at this ‘Destructivist’ meet and take hammer, crowbar and bat to as many household objects as you like. It’s loosely based on art, but largely centered around 150 people’s collective rage against the (washing) machine.

The Rebel Bingo Revolution
What’s an underground, rebellious breakaway to do when his secret’s out and bingo-bunnies are ready to stampede the door down? Why, move to a bigger venue of course. Tonight’s revolution promises to be full of the usual dancing, drinking and hardcore rule breaking, with DJ sets from Ben Moorhouse and Nicky Fatback, and the continued promise of no oldies or boring people to clog up your otherwise electrifying evening of number-stamping.

Chinese New Year
It’s the Year of the Tiger and to celebrate, Trafalgar Square is offering a range of festive celebrations that will include traditional Chinese dancing, food stalls, lights and lanterns as well as live performances from dragons and lions, as well as acrobatics by Chinese performance artists. Whether or not Tony the Tiger will be making a guest appearance, we can’t say, but is it just us or are Frosties looking back in favour again?

YARNfest
It may come as a shock to the less-prolific readers/weavers amongst you that ‘spinning a yarn’ has little to do with sewing or knitting of any kind, and much more to do with a well-told, beautifully crafted story. Which is what this brand new festival is all about; telling tales. Sunday is the busiest with David Alric reading from his book Valley of the Ancients, Tom Wrigglesworth offering to read over a roast, the Paper Cinema making magic in The Lost World, and a spot of short cinematic Bedtime Stories for grown ups.
