EAST BARNET FESTIVAL Oak Hill Park, East Barnet Friday, 6.30pm to 9pm, Saturday, 12pm to 7pm, Sunday, 12pm to 7.30pm

Festival-goers will be able to hear everything from rock to world music during a theatre and dance weekend.

Among the 22 bands playing at the East Barnet Festival will be tribute band Sounds of the Four Tops and rock 'n' roll band Roadhouse Dogs.

Festival organiser Barry Ainsworth says: "It's the largest free festival in the area, and is sure to offer something for everyone. We had more than 15,000 people last year, despite the bad weather, and I have a feeling this year is going to be even bigger."

Revellers will be entertained by dance acts including a street dance from pupils at the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School, in Barnet.

New this year will be a classic and sports car show, where prizes will be awarded for the best cars.

There will also be a market tent with arts and crafts stalls and a farmers' market.

The car show costs £5 per entry but all other events are free. For more information, call 07071 781745.
