Tickets for the late-summer / early-autumn Offset Festival (4-5 September) in Hainault Forest are now on sale. There’s no sniff of a line-up yet but Offset’s can always be trusted for a quirky carnival of alternative, mostly emerging acts. Visitors to North London last year included The xx, Wild Beasts and Metronomy. Weekend tickets in 2010 start at £45, or £55 with camping.
