3 May 06 Some fun events coming up

Sultan\'s Elephant photo from BBC

This week the Sultan’s Elephant is coming to town! Over four days the show travels through central London “in the area around Horse Guards Parade in St James’s Park, St James’s, Piccadilly, Haymarket and Trafalgar Square.” Thousands of people will be chasing this enormous elephant around, which should make for some fun photo opportunities. Surely Saturday at Trafalgar Square in particular will be mayhem. Here’s the timetable for the show’s whereabouts.

Coming up on Sunday the 14th is the Bangla New Year celebration “Baishakhi Mela” on Brick Lane. “Brick Lane itself will be pedestrianised throughout the day and transformed into a bustling market place with over 45 curry houses spilling out on to the pavement offering curry alfresco alongside 100’s of stalls giving a taste of Bangladesh through the wide range of Merchandise such as handicrafts and traditional Bangladeshi fashion wears.” All that goodness plus music, art and juggling clowns!
