We might have another week to go until December but we reckon it’s just about acceptable to be getting into the festive spirit. And there are loads of opportunities to do so this Saturday: at a Scandinavian Christmas market in Rotherhithe, on Camden Market’s new ice rink, which opened this week, and sipping a Christmassy cocktail or two at Barking’s Laser Light Synth display.
1. Laser Light Synths
Attendees can take part in this unique light display by Bafta-winning artist Seb Lee-Delisle by tapping on custom-made synths to release laser beams into the night sky.

2. Scandinavian Christmas Market
London’s Finnish and Norwegian churches provide the backdrop for this festive fair. Hit up stalls selling Scandi treats and glug some Nordic gløgg.
