Events in May
Enjoy a day of traditional British entertainment at the Actor's Church in Covent Garden.
Celebrating the anniversary of the first time that Samuel Pepys recorded seeing a Punch and Judy-style show in London, this fun festival is a popular annual treat for families. Puppeteers travel from all over England to perform. Due to the large number of theatres in the area, as well as the puppet shows held in its grounds, it quickly gained the nickname "the Actor's Church". It contains memorials to many famous theatrical personalities, including Charles Macklin, Dame Ellen Terry and Vivien Leigh. You may also recognise the church's portico from its appearance in the Audrey Hepburn film My Fair Lady.

Also, this month, come and experience the world's greatest flower show at London's Royal Hospital Chelsea. Every year the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea are transformed into show gardens, inspirational small gardens and vibrant horticultural displays for the world's most famous flower show. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is attended by 157,000 visitors each year. Tickets sell out quickly and must be purchased in advance. The show has become an important venue for watching emerging gardening trends. New plants are launched and the popularity of older varieties are revived. It's the garden design equivalent of Paris Fashion Week and is staged in one of London's most charming and affluent neighbourhoods.
