London runs one of the world's richest free cultural calendars. Sabhas hold Carnatic concerts most evenings, temples host utsavams and bhajans, and Bharatanatyam margams, harikathas and discourses happen year-round — most with free admission and no ticket needed. This guide gathers them in one place and refreshes itself as new events are added.
It peaks in the Margazhi season (mid-Dec to mid-Jan), when hundreds of free and low-cost kutcheris fill the sabhas — but there's something on almost every week. Bookmark this page, or get the app for reminders near you.
How to use it
- Just turn up for most sabha and temple programmes — free events rarely need registration.
- Tap any event for the exact venue, time and performer.
- Want paid shows too? See all events in London or things to do this weekend.
