To celebrate the opening of the film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are at the Clapham Picture House, the cinema has given us some fantastic prizes to give away. We’ve got two sets of prizes for you to win, both containing a fantastic Where the Wild Things Are t-shirt and kite (we’ll see you flying it on Clapham Common!) All you have to do is email with the answer to this question: who was the author of the original Where the Wild Things Are book?

Have you spotted our new Clapham Offers page in the top menu? Take a look, we’ve got a couple of excellent discounts for the Four O Nine restaurant in Clapham North including a tremendous Sunday lunch deal – check it out this weekend. On Friday evening it’s Northcote Road’s Summer Fare, see ya there! Then on Saturday it’s Clapham Common Fayre (note the spelling difference) at the Holy Trinity Church. Clapham clubbing offers and more below.

If you’re en masse at the weekend, why not check out Inferno’s guestlist? Book on Thursday or it’s too late. If you feel like doing something for Charidee, check out MSF Clapham Treasure Hunt. Don’t forget to make the most of Revolutions 2-4-1 offer running at the moment on some cocktails.

Clapham Picture House is hosting a Robert Pattinson day on Saturday, celebrating the Twilight star’s career so far with three of his films: Twilight, How To Be and Little Ashes. Also check out our newly updated Clapham Bandstand 2009 Summer Schedule because there is the Cheeky Monkey Tea Party on Saturday and the Crystal Palace Brass Band is playing on Sunday.

Can you say Clapham-packed? We can too, but don’t cos you’ll sound silly. It is a busy weekend events wise though.

You know that swanky new wood and brick building opposite the Windmill Pub on Clapham Common? Well that, dear reader, is the newly built Clapham part of Lambeth College to house the sixth formers in September. Colleges have come a long way since our day and all the better for it, it’s a fantastic modern building and very in keeping with the tone of modern Clapham. If you’re interested in the courses – or your children are – head down there this Saturday for the open day.

Moving on to over 18 activities, other weekend goings on include Revolutions bar still offering two-for-one on their cocktails, click here for vouchers (one day you won’t have to print them off and save some trees). Infernos is free on Fridays before 10pm for Lady’s night, so perhaps there’s some kind of Revolution + Infernos plan for you right there.

If you’re excited about the South West Four festival later this year, you might want to head over to their website to watch a video interview with Sasha and John Digweed. One last thing, Ben & Jerry’s Sundae on Clapham Common tickets are now on sale – go grab ‘em!

Well, well, well. Another bank holiday weekend has snuck up on Love Clapham and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks to Mother Nature (via the BBC) it looks like Monday’s out weather wise, but we like the look of a sunny Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It’s Clapham Common time! Clubbing in Clapham celebrates bank holiday Monday with Inferno’s beach party on Sunday night, a mere £5 before 10pm.

Don’t forget that you can go to the Inferno’s website to book yourself on the guestlist if you look sharp – you must book two days in advance. No doubt the High Street will be graced with many a Hawaiian shirt and grass skirt. 

Two Brewers will have its usual array of drag acts and cheesy pop music all at a bargainous price. Revolution bar is offering 2 for 1 cocktails before 9pm across the entire weekend too. Print out the vouchers to make the most of the offer.

Is there anything else going on that we don’t know about? Please email us to help spread the word.

Face it, this weekend is all about Eurovision. Love Clapham HQ will be holding its own Eurovision party – sorry, it’s private! – and it’s guaranteed not to be the only one in Clapham. With Eurovision only running until 11.15pm (saying ‘only’ knowing full well it starts at 8pm and lasts for an epic 3 hours), what are people in Clapham going to be doing after the show? Check out our new weekly Clubbing Clapham round-up to find out what’s hot, what’s not and for handy offers.

Infernos is definitely where the party’s going down this week after Eurovision. If you got your act into gear early, you could have booked in advance to get your party on the guestlist by sending everyone’s names two days in advance. Too late now, but remember for next time. You can sign-up for the newsletter and an E-flyer by going to the Infernos website.

If the three hour cheesathon sends you into pop overdrive, then head down to Two Brewers for its usual night of mayhem. With free entry before 10pm (£5 afterwards), what’s to stop you? If you have no Eurovision party to go to, Love Clapham believes the Two Brewers will be showing the show live. Eurovision purists like Love Clapham couldn’t take the crowd noise however. 

The White House is, as always, open until 5am and this Saturday has Marc Vedo and His Koolwaters… whoever they are. Oh wait, the website tells us, “Koolwaters with Marc Vedo is a live 4 piece band comprising of Vocals, Live Sax, Percussion and Marc on the decks. Reminiscent of a funky house jam session, this event really is one that will keep you dancing til dawn.” 

After Eurovision, it might make a nice change having a funky house jam session, but Love Clapham will probably opt for clubbing to dance/pop at Infernos. See you there!
