This is a long-standing family-friendly tradition. Expect traditional Punch and Judy shows, puppet performances, live music, and a parade. It\u2019s free to attend and runs from 11 am to 5:30 pm in St Paul\u2019s Church Gardens, Covent Garden.<\/p><p>If you love theatre, May also marks the start of the <a href=\"https:\/\/openairtheatre.com\/\">Regent\u2019s Park Open Air Theatre<\/a> season.
