Out of all the things on in London this weekend, we bet you didn't think you'd see an illicit moonshine smuggling operation taking place. Grab your mates and be a part of the story from £36.50 per person, as you step into an immersive experience that requires you to don your best cowboy hat and sneak your own bottles of liquor in.

Just be careful not to go spilling the beans when the Sheriff comes knocking at Moonshine Saloon: Western Cocktail Experience. 

Every Saturday from 3pm until 5pm, you can treat yourself to a sophisticated afternoon tea at Lucy Wong in Fitzrovia.

What's more, there's a vegan menu available too.

If you're a fan of these fluffy buns and are partial to a cool, crisp pint then you're going want to attend Mondo Brewing Company's Kat x Mondo Bottomless Brunch on Saturday, with tickets starting from £39.99 each. You'll be able to get your chops around unlimited baos filled with short rib beef, spicy fried chicken, pork belly or tofu, and wash them down with free-flowing craft beer, prosecco or mimosas.

Fancy gathering around a campfire atop a secret garden, enjoying bespoke cocktails and toasting your own s'mores? You can with tickets to Midnight Apothecary. It welcomes visitors to its roof garden bar, with an underground tour of the tunnel shaft at the Brunel Museum included.

If you're up for a wild and wacky golfing adventure, Junkyard Golf Club in Shoreditch is the place to be. This spot is home to the most outlandish mini golf setups you can dream of, featuring four quirky 9-hole courses brimming with all sorts of funky junk. They also serve a creative array of cocktails (like Disco Is Dead, served in a glitter ball, or the bubblegum-flavoured Fizz Pop), and delicious fare like pepperoni pizza twists, and nachos. And for a bargain? Head down to catch an epic happy hour from 8pm 'til close between Sunday and Thursday where you can bag 2-4-1 on selected tipples, and £4.50 lagers.

They host a number of bottomless pizza or prosecco events for as little as £18 per person, as well as themed parties like Mamma Mia brunches or Ibiza blowouts that are a lot cheaper than snapping up a plane ticket. 

Boasting over one million balls and an envious lineup of parties from Taylor Swift-themed brunches to karaoke, the capital's mightiest ball-pit bar, Ballie Ballerson in Shoreditch, is here for when you're seeking the best things to do in London this weekend.

All of this is included in your £58 ticket and slots are available at 1pm and 3.30pm on Saturdays, so bag yours now. 

Sometimes, you've got to get a little bit creative (or remind yourself why you either loved or loathed having pottery painting parties when you were a kid). Across London, loads of cool haunts are inviting you to decorate your own ceramics, from cereal bowls and egg cups to classic mugs to drink your morning coffee out of. Head to West London to the Pottery Café, pay a £7.95 studio fee, then hit the brushes, or make your way over to Kentish Town for Social Pottery's offering which comes with a BYOB option.
