The Beach
The weather forecast says it will be hot - up to 30 degrees so soak up some sun and fun at the Beach at Brent Cross.
Young children can enjoy Puppets Galore on Saturday while the site also has a sandy beach, splash pools and a whole host of urban beach rides as entertainment and food on offer too.
£3 entry.
Book in advance to secure a place.
Guided tours
Visit the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir - otherwise known as Neasden Temple, in Pramukh Swami Road.
The incredible marble temple with its landscaped gardens is a must see.
However, for the time being, it is currently only open on a booking basis (online) for private worship and prayers.

Reggae
Tomorrow's Warriors - The Reggae Ticket
The iconic Trojan Records label hailed originally from Brent.
On Sunday head to the Southbank and the Riverside Terrace outside Royal Festival Hall at midday to hear Brent Young Musicians perform two specially arranged Trojan tunes.
Stay a while and listen to the panel discussion on the Trojan Story in the Clore Ballroom and the ‘Jazz Jamaica All Stars – The Trojan Story’ concert later that day, which is part of Southbank Centre’s Summer Reunion programme.
Originally commissioned as a part of Brent 2020 No Bass Like Home, The Reggae Ticket is taking place in collaboration with Brent Music Services.
