A date with the Darts

This year's carnival parade has the human body as its theme, so expect graphic and colourful carnival costumes from local schools and groups. Then it's on to Southwark Park for The Event - nine hours of music, food and children's activities, including a funfair.

Headline acts include The Proclaimers and Darts (reuniting after 25 years). There's also music marking VE Day and a tea dance. The evening ends with a fireworks display.

Southwark Park, Jamaica Road, SE16 (020-7525 2000). Sat 9 Jul, procession from noon in Spa Road, entertainment 1pm-10pm, free.
