Improve your wildlife photography at London Wetland Centre – Saturday, 24 February

Whether you are a dedicated twitcher or Sunday snapper, photographers of all levels are welcome to join professional photographer Nick Dale, who has captured wildlife across all seven continents.

The workshop is kept small to allow for more one-on-one time with Nick, but also means it will get booked up quickly, so don't delay if you fancy starting your weekend in nature with a Sunday Times award-winning photographer.

Runs from 9:30am to 1:30pm, with café stops at the beginning and end of the workshop for Qs, As, and refreshments.

After spending a morning in the reeds of Barnes, recover with the restaurant-themed performance May Contain Food, May Contain You courtesy of dance company Protein.

Described by the Guardian as a "lip-smacking fusion of song, dance, mime and sweet aperitif tomatoes," The Landmark Centre promises guests an evening where they can "watch, savour and digest a playful mix of dance, theatre and song".

Audience members may get hungry while exploring "the curious relationship we all have with food", and are encouraged to bring along a dish to enjoy during the performance, as well as bring items for donation to a local foodbank.

Doors open at 6:45pm for a start time of 7:30pm, with the show lasting 90 minutes.

This weekend is your last opportunity to make one of Jacqui Barrowcliffe's open studio days as she comes to the end of her three-week residency in Hampton Wick's ReptureXIBIT.

With a residency split between Jacqui's home in North Yorkshire and RuptureXIBIT, the artist's work examines "the challenges artist parents face whilst trying to balance their home life and artistic practice," which is sure to strike a chord with all artists, amateur or professional.

Even when physically elsewhere, Jacqui continues to "transmit to the gallery daily" via postcards, live video, and even a nanny cam.

RuptureXIBIT's studio is open Saturday 24 February, 12pm to 7pm and Sunday 25 February from 10am to 12pm.
