Learn some life-saving skills
Ideally, we should all know CPR and the Heimlich, but it’s the sort of thing that tends to slip down the to-do list. No longer. King’s College Hospital is running free workshops on Friday and Saturday on first aid, cancer awareness, and basics for new parents. There’s also free heart health checks and activities for kids. What better way to face the working week than to know you’re prepared in case of emergency?
King’s College Hospital open weekend, 9am-5pm Friday 29 and Saturday 30. King’s College Hospial London Medical Centre, 37 B Street, Umm Suqeim 1, Jumeirah, Dubai. Tel: (04) 361 8850. eventbrite.com.
Scare yourself silly
If you’re a fan of all things spooky, this is for you. The Woman in Black is meant to be one of the world’s most effectively told ghost stories, and it’s on at the Madinat Theatre this week. The story follows a young lawyer who thinks his family is cursed, but his investigations do more harm than good. It’s run in London’s West End for 27 years, so you know it’s doing something right.
The Woman in Black. Tickets from Dhs180, show starts at 8pm. Madinat Theatre, Souk Madinat, Jumeirah Beach Road, Jumeirah, Dubai. Tel: (04) 366 6546. madinattheatre.com.
