Woot’s going on?!

Looking to get outside, out of Copenhagen, or out of your comfort zone? Check out this week's upcoming events.

 

w00t festival
A festival for those who love playing games, but not the kind you play on a computer. The strangely-titled w00t this weekend will arrange 32 urban games, 16 new board games and 16 game shops. There are no language barriers as most of the street games and the entire game talk programme will be in English. Among the more bizarre offerings are the ‘Danish Clapping Game’, ‘Magnetize Me’ and the ‘Johan Sebastian Joust’. And kids are well catered for as well.

Dirch Passers Alle 2,  Frederiskberg; all day Sat (until late) & Sun; www.w00t.dk/en/programme

 

Malmö Vintage Fair
The fair is for everybody interested in a vintage and eco-conscious lifestyle. Get everything your little vintage heart desires, including exhibitors, live music, eco-food, fashion shows, lectures, styling, goodie bags and much more. But if you want to get your hands on one of the goodie bags, you’ll need to hurry across the bridge to our neighbours, as there’s a limited amount.

Tangopalatset, Malmö; open Sat 11:00-18:00 & Sun 11:00-16:00; tickets: expect to pay around 80kr per day, concessions available; www.vintagemalmo.se

 

Open Stage at the CTC
The Copenhagen Theatre Circle’s Open Stage event at Café Cadeau is a great way to introduce yourself to the city’s leading amdram group. Either come along to enjoy the performances, or actually take part. Poets, storytellers, comedians, singers, dancers, clowns, musicians, magicians – the more the merrier.

Café Cadeau, HC Ørsteds Vej 28, Frederiksberg; Fri 18:00;  free adm; contact brendanogo@gmail.com to perform

 

Rasmus Klump’s Centimetre Marathon
