DUST off your flat cap, don your best white trousers or pleated skirt and slip on your slip-ons, because for one day only Brick Lane in London will undergo a major transformation into a professional standard bowling green.

As well as the chance to play a chilled out game of traditional bowls, the event on August 1, courtesy of Vauxhall Motors, will include top bands, dancing, lounging and stylish art commissions.

Comedian Matt Horne will also be on hand to play some summer tunes and T4 presenter Rick Edwards will be around to eat ice cream, feel the grass between his toes, have a potter on the bowls lawn and possibly adjudicate any tricky games.

If you’re no expert don't worry as some old pros will be on hand to show you the bowls ropes and help perfect your delivery with skill and finesse.

So whether you fancy aiming your woods at our Jack, or simply hanging out with the band, apply for tickets now to make sure you don't miss out on the hottest (hopefully) and laziest event of the summer.
