February can be a tough month: all of the cold and none of the Christmas. But let us help you along with some vintage motorcycles, rare orchids, iced biscuits and pancake races. Without further ado, here’s our top London Events this February:
Mime London
MimeLondon is a new project from the directors of London International Mime Festival (LIMF) which ended in 2023. Four international companies bring you productions showcasing extraordinary visual performances including puppet shows, shadow puppetry and animation. With acts covering just about every kind of physical performance you can imagine, if you’ve not already been, now’s the time.

The Grimaldi Church Service
Not one for coulrophobic Cheapos but definitely not something you see every day, the Grimaldi church service sees clowns gather in full costume and make-up to honour and remember Joseph Grimaldi (1778 -1837), father of the modern day clown.
Chinese/Lunar New Year
Celebrate the Year of the Snake in London at the largest celebrations outside Asia. Chinese New Year (also known as the Lunar New Year) falls between late January and mid-February; this year it’s on Wednesday 29th January 2025. Expect a parade, lion dance, firecrackers and traditional food.
DIY Biscuit Icing
Celebrate Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s, or Palentine’s – whatever works for you) with a bit of sweet DIY decoration at one of Biscuiteers’ boutique biscuit icing cafes.
| Advance sales: £30.00 | ||
Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience
Relax inside a giant Van Gogh painting in this immersive 3D digital art experience. Grab a deckchair and sit back as his best-loved works come to life in vivid colour all around you, follow the timeline of his personal and creative life and then make your own masterpiece in the studio to be projected on to the walls.
London Motorcycle Show | Custom House
Bringing all the best motorbikes in all their forms, this show is a must-see for any enthusiasts or new-to-the-scene bikers. There will be all the newest designs as well as examples of classics.

Imagine Festival
Back for 2025, Imagine Festival is all about letting kids’ minds run wild during the half term, with music, play sessions and interactive fun. You can also look forward to special guests and storytellers; the good news is, around half of the events are free or pay-what-you-can.
Orchid Festval at Kew Gardens | Kew
Back with their annual introduction and showcasing of one of the world’s most ornate flowers, Kew is focusing on Peru’s rare orchids this time around. There will be talks, amazing displays and workshops to enjoy as well as late-night openings with live music, street food and plenty of dancing.
