I’ve done my best to add the details of all these events accurately and keep them up to date but I strongly advise you to click through and check on the organiser’s website to ensure the dates and times have not changed. Many of these events require pre-booking so I’d recommend you do that as soon as you decide you want to in order to avoid disappointment.
