"It’s time to celebrate. More specifically, it’s time to celebrate Jamaican Independence Day with a fun line-up of musicians and food at Brixton Village. Not only should you make it your personal mission to try every single patty at Healthy Eatersand devour one of the truly epic combo platters from Eat of Eden, you should also be prepared to crack out your moves. They’ve got a line-up of DJs who are working in collaboration with VP Records, the world’s leading reggae and dancehall record label. Like all the best parties, you don’t need a ticket - simply turn up and kick things off with a Jamaican-inspired cocktail in their courtyard. Alternatively, there’s also London Jerk Festival going on in Hackney." - heidi lauth beasley
