As the weather warms up, it’s time to start thinking about your arsenal for the water fights that are to come. While these imitation handguns are unlikely to win in any significant way when faced with the might of a supersoaker, it’s always wise to tote a sidearm just in case you lose your squirter Water pistols, £1 Go to uk.flyingtiger.com

Westferry Circus Roundabout
Following success with performances of Wilde and Shakespeare last year, the pristine grass of Westferry Circus is all set to welcome Wharfers’ bums and picnics once more. Kicking off on July 15 with a double-bill, the venue will host a 50-minute performance at 1pm by Bite-Sized Opera with four singers delivering a whistle-stop tour of the form desinged for lunchbreaks. Hardened fans can then pop along later for the Scherzo ensemble’s semi-staged version of The Barber Of Seville at 7pm. On July 22, Boxtree Productions present their take on The Legend Of King Arthur as Wart attempts to extract the sword from the stone. Bike-based troupe The Handlebards return on July 29 with an all male Much Ado About Nothing. And finally, Chapterhouse put a girdle around the roundabout with A Midsummer Night’s Dream on August 5. All of the theatre shows begin at 7pm. As with all performances at Westferry, early arrival is a must to ensure a good spot. Toilets are located at the rear of the theatre.
