PARENTING 071
JOURNEY THROUGH THE
HUMAN BODY The SCUMMY
Body Worlds London is now a permanent fi xture at the London Pavilion in Piccadilly Circus and is open 365 days of the year. The exhibition, which has been seen by
more than 47 million people in over 130 cities worldwide, takes visitors on a journey around the human body, and features real bodies and body parts donated to be preserved by creator Dr Gunther von Hagens’ patented ‘plastination’ technique. Over 200 exhibits and displays explore the ageing process, diet and cholesterol,
the beating heart and cardiovascular systems, and pregnancy and reproduction, in more detail than has ever been previously possible while 25 full body plastinates display a range of movements and activities to show exactly how the muscles work in different ways. Healthy and diseased organs are shown side by side, allowing visitors to see how lifestyle choices affect the body. • For more information and ticket prices, visit

MUMMIES are back! The antithesis of the typical school gate ‘yummy mummies’, comedians Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn – aka The Scummy Mummies – celebrate the scummier side of parenting, from drinking wine at teatime to hiding from the PTA.
Leave your inhibitions at the door and join them at the Stag in Sevenoaks on 27th June for stand- up, sketches, songs and some very scummy stories. Based on the hit Scummy Mummies podcast and bestselling book, the show will have parents and non-parents weeping with laughter. Brilliant fun for a mum’s – or dad’s – night out! Doors open 7.30pm, show starts at 8pm, and tickets are priced £17. • Visit
