    London's Weekend: Chinese New Year Celebrations, Rugby Thrills, and Theatre Closings
    Feb 21 2026
    London's got serious weekend energy right now, and trust me, there's something spectacular happening whether you're into theatre, music, sports, or cultural celebrations.

    Let's kick off with the Chinese Lunar New Year festivities because this is absolutely massive. Today through Sunday, Chinatown transforms into a vibrant celebration featuring lion dance performances throughout the district. Tomorrow, Sunday the 22nd, is when the main parade kicks off through Chinatown, complete with dramatic martial arts displays, those gorgeous red and gold costumes, fireworks, and dancing dragons. Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square will be packed with dozens of performances, workshops, and activities, so if you want to soak in that incredible energy, head over there tomorrow afternoon.

    Now, if you're a rugby fan, England versus Ireland kicks off today as part of the Guinness Men's Six Nations. This is one of rugby's most thrilling matchups, and the atmosphere will be electric at the stadium.

    For night owls, The Carpet Shop in Peckham is hosting an all-night event called Keyrah tonight, with doors opening at eleven. It's perfect if you want to dance into Sunday morning.

    On the theatre front, several shows are wrapping up their bookings today. If you haven't caught Cosi Fan Tutte at the London Coliseum or Shadowlands at the National Theatre, today's your last chance to grab tickets. These productions close their booking period today, so if you're interested, move fast.

    Looking ahead to next week, things get even more exciting. Back to The Future the Musical, Hamilton, Moulin Rouge, and The Book of Mormon continue their West End runs. If you're craving something newer, a production called Garry Starr: Classic Penguins at the Garrick Theatre is worth checking out.

    For something completely different, TUTU at the Peacock Theatre offers hilarious dance performances with incredible choreography by Philippe Lafeuille that challenges dance stereotypes. It runs through the 21st, so catch it if you can.

    The week ahead is genuinely packed with possibilities, from long-running blockbuster musicals to intimate theatre experiences and cultural celebrations that make London feel like the vibrant heart of the world.
