Featured Events in London in August, 2025 (June Updated)

Curated by Shanay Jhaveri, the exhibition will feature major Giacometti works from the Giacometti Foundation, which will rotate with works by three contemporary artists for three months each—Barba will be the first of three exhibitions. Albert Giacometti (1901-1966) was one of the most important European sculptors of the twentieth century. His work, in response to the pain and destruction caused by World War II, offered new perspectives on human nature and the collective psyche. It is the exploration of these timeless and existential questions that forms the connection between the three living artists and Giacometti in this exhibition.

One of the leading contemporary American artists of his generation, Paul McCarthy has developed a distinct and subversive artistic practice throughout his long career, which now spans more than five decades. In this exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, McCarthy constructs an installation within the North Gallery, utilizing a disused theater set as a location for drawing, digital recording and AI interaction. This format is part of a trajectory in McCarthy’s work going back to the 1960s of drawing and painting as action or performance.

Celebrated for her work in establishing an architectural language that is both contemporary and deeply connected to a specific place, climate, context, culture, and history, Marina Tabassum brings her distinctive vision to the Serpentine Pavilion 2025. Her design evokes a meaningful dialogue between the permanent and ephemeral nature of the commission.

The Other Garden Cinema is back this Summer!!!! Central Station (Portuguese: Central do Brasil) is a 1998 Brazilian–French drama film directed by Walter Salles, starring Fernanda Montenegro and Vinícius de Oliveira. The screenplay, adapted by João Emanuel Carneiro and Marcos Bernstein from a story by its director Walter Salles, tells the story of a young boy's friendship with a jaded middle-aged woman.

In 2008, the BLAST Technique® was developed by Nick Davies, international trauma expert as an optimised, neuroscience-backed method for treating PTSD and trauma. This cutting-edge approach accelerates memory reconsolidation, providing a more efficient and effective resolution for both clients and therapists. Unlike traditional therapies, BLAST® rapidly and compassionately resolves trauma without re-traumatisation or emotional distress, making it a gentle yet powerful alternative to EMDR. During this interactive event Nick Davies, founder of the evidence based BLAST Technique® for trauma will explain what PTSD and trauma are, and how you can determine if you are suffering yourself. He will cover the neuroscience behind PTSD and trauma and explain why some therapies are not only ineffective but can worsen the symptoms, and why sometimes sufferers turn to addiction. Nick will do a live demonstration with a volunteer, healing their trauma quickly and permanently, with compassion and kindness, with his evidence-based BLAST Technique®. Tracy Friend founder of Liberating the Heart and co-founder of the Law of Attraction Centre will share her experience of how Nick's BLAST Technique® released the emotional pain she had from her sister's suicide. This event is in honour of her sister Sally. You will be given a powerful BLAST® 'self-care' protocol to take away with you to reduce feelings of anxiety, stress or low mood. Tracy Friend will teach a five element Traditional Chinese Medicine healing sound meditation to help release any stuck emotions from the organs in the body. She will also share a simple pranayama breathwork technique to assist you with moving from the fight or flight mode of the sympathetic nervous system into the rest and digest mode of the parasympathetic nervous system.

She is co-founder of the Law of Attraction Centre and founder of Liberating the Heart. Tracy ‘walks her talk’ with her work being a natural expression of her in-depth and extensive spiritual practice and study. She views spirituality as a deep inner calling to fulfil our highest potential in this lifetime of moving from the dualistic experience of life of the separate self to the oneness of knowing our interconnection with the world. Tracy awakened to her true nature in December 2018 on an insight meditation retreat after over 10,000 hours of meditation practice. After she experienced the falling away of the separate self, suffering reduced dramatically and it felt like and continues to feel like emotions, thoughts and sensations arise in an infinite space. She teaches the Law of Attraction, yoga and qigong to help people to create a life that is an expression of their soul and she teaches meditation techniques to help people to awaken more deeply to their true nature. Tracy holds a first class honours degree in Psychology. She has participated in over 35 residential silent meditation retreats in the UK, Malaysia, Nepal and India.

Testimonials: “Nick is very gifted and talented, going beyond symptoms and addressing root cause in a friendly and reassuring manner. He is very approachable and geared with tools and skills that have freed me of the residual impact of trauma I had experienced. I truly appreciate the preventative focus of the session as opposed to addressing just the symptoms. This session is having a significant impact on my life in many layers. And there I was only looking at addressing the symptom. Little did I know!!!” “The BLAST Technique® session was crazy, in a matter of minutes I went from a state of horror, nausea and sheer emotion to feeling relieved, happy, like a weight had been lifted. I’m no longer explosive and have much more patience, the BLAST Technique® not only saved me but it also saved my life.” “I continue to attend Tracy's workshops because her wealth of knowledge on spiritual practices is shared in an understandable and relatable way. I always feel like I've grown spiritually after I have attended. Tracy's gentle and supportive approach, alongside her enthusiasm for the spiritual path makes attending groups a fun and rewarding experience. My life has and is continuing to, shift and change for the better. Thank you Tracy.” “I love the tenor of what Tracy does. Sincere. Heart-felt. Authentic.” Information Source: Tracy Friend | eventbrite

You will have the opportunity to work hands-on, constructing geometric and curved forms, creating decorative effects using pigment and you will learn how to replicate other materials and textures using Jesmonite. Jesmonite can be used to replicate the appearance and texture of any surface finish, and even the finest of detail. It can mimic the appearance of most materials such as stone, wood, leather and fabric. It is strong and durable, can be pigmented to any colour and used to create decorative surface effects. It is often used as lightweight alternative to stone and concrete. It has become an increasingly popular material widely used by artists, designers and prop-makers. Jesmonite is a brand name for a group of products that have either a gypsum or cementitious base and a water based acrylic resin making it kinder to the environment than others. This two day course will teach you how to use both Jesmonite systems to cast from different types of moulds, how to colour Jesmonite, how to laminate it and how to use it to mimic other materials. Day 1: Introduction to the two different types of Jesmonite before experimentation with mould making techniques using Polypropylene sheets that can be cut, scored and folded to make geometric and curved moulds to cast into. You will learn how to use Jesmonite pigments to create decorative effects such as Terrazzo and marbling and make use of metal powders to produce imitation metal casts. We will finish the day by making a small, simple silicone mould ready for tomorrow and finishing processes such as polishing. Day 2: Using the silicone moulds, we will look at laminating Jesmonite to produce very strong thin castings before progressing onto making larger moulds (either in polypropylene, wood, card or moulds brought from home) to learn to cast hollow objects. In both cases we will be using the cementitious Jesmonite casting system to explore the types of imitation stone finishes. Please note there will be a 1 hour lunch break each day (lunch is not provided) Basic materials are all included. Please note the cost of the course includes 1 kg of jesmonite. Additional jesmonite is available to purchase on the day if required. Open to all levels including beginners. Please wear protective clothing. Health and Safety briefing will be given. Course cost: £295 Course date: Wednesday 13th & Tuesday 14th August 2025 Course times: 10am-1pm & 2pm - 4pm Number of places available: 12 Tutor: Dr. Sarah Fortais Website: www.sarahfortais.com Information Source: London Sculpture Workshop | eventbrite

History has always advanced through the courage of those willing to follow God's call—boldly and in faith. From the prophets who spoke truth to kings, to the apostles who evangelised the world in a single generation, one truth remains: faith and boldness are the currency of spiritual legacy. But every legacy makes way for something new. As Moses led God’s people out of Egypt, it was Joshua who led them into the Promised Land. A new generation arose—not only shaped by the past, but forged by vision, obedience, and Spirit-filled leadership. That same call echoes today. Join thousands of disciples from around the world, 14–17 August, for the Global Missions Conference 2025 in London, England, as we embark on a new chapter of faith, leadership, and global impact. This is more than a gathering—it’s a launchpad. The mission hasn’t changed, but the generation has. It’s time to rise. It’s time to lead. It’s time to take new ground—in our cities, our nations, and our hearts. All this at the stunning InterContinental London – The O2 , offering 5-star luxury, exceptional on-site dining, a tranquil spa, state-of-the-art gym facilities, and breathtaking views over the River Thames.

Today packed with tourists and the spectacle of boutiques, stalls and pop-up performances, Covent Garden and St Giles were together London’s original and varied West End. While one developed in the 17th century as the city’s first exercise in refined neoclassical town planning, the other became the defining slum of the 18th century; chronicled by artist Hogarth and urban reformers. In service to one of the city’s most celebrated markets, they evolved as rough and tumble districts that in the twentieth century fought and won one of London’s greatest architectural battles. In this walk, The London Ambler recalls clamour and change through the area’s best buildings and most eclectic streetscapes.
