Look out for the events happening in or starting from the Bloomsbury Squares during the Festival week. Don’t miss

Bedford Square: JAZZ IN THE SQUARE Sunday 20 October 12-4 pm Enjoy swinging vocal-led jazz with gin cocktails from the Gin Garden, lawn games, coffee and cake and other afternoon refreshments, as Bedford Square opens its gates for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. There are live jazz sets from the Maria Chen Ensemble and the Alison Beck Quartet, as you enjoy this beautiful space: a refuge from the busy heart of London, and a peek into a private square normally only open to residents.

Russell Square: A whole weekend of curious activities for children and adults at the heart of Bloomsbury, including SOAS World Music stage: Saturday 10am-7.30pm, Sunday 11am-5.30pm.
