A mixed bag for the weekend, as mixed as the weather (especially when you think of the snow involved in skiing...)

Starting tonight, there's Light It! Festival of Light in Myatt's Fields Park in Camberwell This outdoor event has video installations, circus art, sculptural artworks, music and sound, candles and lanterns and is first in a series of planned annual events for this Victorian south London park. Go along to see leading artists' interpretations of light, and how the event cross-references the major festivals of Diwali, Halloween, Eid Al Fitr, Fireworks Night, Day of the Dead and Channukah. Developed by production company home and arts organisation motiroti, the gang responsible for Priceless: The Treasures of Exhibition Road event, it's a bright and dazzling way to end the week.
