Go local: Olympic Legacy Event
Join In is the Olympic legacy charity for volunteering, and this event commemorates the team who gave up their time to make last summer’s Games such a success. It also aims to inspire a new legion to get out there and get involved in the future, too.
There will be performances from guitar-wielding boyband McFly and The Feeling. Join In patron and serial marathon runner, comedian Eddie Izzard, will be on hand with a special Olympics-themed set, and Lord Coe and Mayor muppet Boris Johnson will be in attendance as well.
£15, July 19, from 1.30pm
