From gigs, films and plays to talks, workshops and live comedy, Cheapskate makes London’s amazing cultural offerings more accessible to everyone – even those on a shoestring budget.
Past competitions have included tickets to events like the National Geographic Traveller Food Festival, the New Scientist Festival and the London Podcast Festival, as well as plays at the Donmar Warehouse, comedy nights at the Bill Murray and even a year-long membership of the Vagina Museum in Camden.

No! Cheapskate is entirely free to receive. We make money through advertising, affiliate links and hosting our own events, but will never make money by charging people to receive our content.
We're so glad you asked! We're always keen to know about free events people are working on (although we can't promise newsletter inclusion unless you pay for a sponsored event). Get in touch to discuss more at hello@cheapskatelondon.com.
We aim to get Cheapskate in your inbox by 11am every Monday, so you can start planning your week ASAP.
We most certainly do. We're always looking for likeminded brands to work with; check out our 'Work with us' page to learn more.
Every event recommended by Cheapskate is handpicked and there because it genuinely looks interesting. Occasionally we have some advertising in the form of a banner ad or a sponsored event, but these will be clearly signposted.
Other than send you our weekly email, we don't do anything with it. Check out our 'Privacy policy' below if you'd like to learn more (prepare yourself for a fascinating read!).
