Coming up – Chinese New Year
Welcome to the year of the Rat!
Rats may not be your favourite creature but it will be worth celebrating, anyway. The Chinese New Year celebrations on Sunday, February 10th will feature a parade from the Strand, at 11 in the morning, along Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue, as well as lion dancing in Trafalgar Square and fireworks (at 2 and 5 pm) in Leicester Square. (Don’t forget that it was the Chinese who invented gunpowder, and they still know how to make a party go with a bang!)
Finish off if you like with a meal in one of Chinatown’s many restaurants.
This should be a great family day out. Let’s hope the weather is good!

Seems like *everyone* is getting excited about this year’s Chinese New Year. Hopefully the weather cooperates, unlike last year, and we can have a great day out
