SUFFRAGETTES IN SILENT FILM:
For the first 15 years of the 20th century many fearless women battled with the authorities, and society at large, to make themselves heard. This coincided with the development of film — so their struggle is captured for us, and it’s proven that female emancipation wasn’t just a result of wartime changes, the pill or the miniskirt. BFI Southbank, £8.35-£11.75, showings from 6.40pm-8.50pm
JAPANESE SUPPERCLUB:

THE ULTIMATE DINNER PARTY:
The flatmates of The Little Yellow Door are a welcoming bunch. Come along to their weekly dinner party where it's time to celebrate the arrival of the weekend with a few cocktails, some great food and a legendary afterparty. Knock on their yellow door, make your way up to the secret flat and prepare to be dazzled by the quirky living room, well-considered cuisine and delicious house cocktails. Dinner parties don't get better than this. The Little Yellow Door, Notting Hill, £35, 7pm
