This week's new events

Klezmer In The Park , London Bagels, bandstands and Bessarabian circle-dances all feature at this Jewish music and culture extravaganza, held a week before Jewish New Year heralds the constancy of life with similarly orbicular items like honey-dipped apples. As well as exhibitions, kids' activities and kosher grub, there'll be compering from Radio 3 favourite Max Reinhardt, and rousing live sets from the genre-defying Yiddish Twist Orchestra and all-female London Klezmer Quartet. Regent's Park, NW1, Sun Colette Bernhardt WE PLAY Expo , Preston The north has been in danger of feeling left out of the Olympic summer but Preston is getting in on the act this weekend with a closing celebration for the Paralympics, which is as much about fun as anything else. Jeremy Deller's bouncy Stonehenge pays a visit and is a must for anyone who has a sense of humour and energy to spare, but for those who like to keep sounder footing, pyrotechnic beatsmiths Les Commandos Percu have a show on Sunday which would give Metallica a run for their money. Avenham & Miller Park, Fri to Sun Lanre Bakare Abbots Bromley Horn Dance Be up early if you want to catch the whole of this wonderfully English celebration, as the dancers will be strutting their horned stuff on the village green from 8.15am, with participants twirling their way around Abbots Bromley until sundown. No one quite knows how far the tradition goes back, but the middle ages is generally thought to hold the key. It may all look a little Wicker Man, but the locals are friendly and tend not to burn outsiders on such a joyous occasion.
