March should be putting a spring in your step: blue skies (sometimes), daffodils and increasingly longer evenings mean there's more time and energy for all the fabulous London events and festivals March has to offer. Move It Dance Festival A huge dance event with a wide range of styles and groups. As many as 30,000 people attended last year, making it one of the biggest London events in March. With workshops, performances and a chance to get on stage yourselves, this is the event of the season for dance enthusiasts. St Patrick's Day Parade & Festival One of the most enthusiastic party days in the London events calendar, St Patrick's day is now a weekend of green pints, green hats and green parades. There will be marching bands, floats and colourful performances along Piccadilly, ending in Trafalgar Square with a whole host of entertainment, food and of course, plenty to drink! The Affordable Art Fair The Affordable Art Fair is back at Battersea Park in London this spring, with thousands of artworks from leading UK and international galleries with prices from £100. The UK’s number one art fair, it has works to suit every taste, space, and budget with art of all styles and genres, from original painting and sculpture to printmaking and photography. Head of the River Race Watch as 400 crews of eight keen rowers compete along the Thames championship course on a Sunday afternoon. Started in 1926, there were initially only 21 crews from Cambridge and Tidesway but now teams travel from around the world to attend. The winners usually cross the finish line at Putney Bridge after about 20 minutes but the event as a whole takes around two hours.
