Details on Request are offering a series of workshops with intriguing titles such as How To Attract The Opposite Sex and How To Hold A Conversation. Sort of like the School of Life, this series of Seminars in Irrelevant Learning is where artistic practice meets lecturing.
Brought to you by a curatorial team of East London artists, the events emphasise the importance of the process over the outcome. The talks are either free or cost very little to attend, so why not pop along and find out what they're all about if you live in the area. What better way to set yourself up for the weekend?

Come and listen to tips on how to play the game and get the girl (or boy) you want.
