School's out but if you aren't jetting off on holiday yet, here are five family outings you can book in London.

ABBA Voyage, ABBA arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, selected dates.

If you haven't yet caught this eye-popping spectacle then now is your chance. The Eurovision-winning Swedish hitmakers have been digitally recreated and deliver 90 minutes of wall to wall bangers in a special arena, boosted by a live band and backing singers. The awesome digital effects return Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Frida to their 70s pomp, and generate the atmosphere of a live gig. Thanks to Mama Mia even my tween knew all the words, so arms in the air and singalong to Thank-You For the Music.

The Wizard of Oz, London Palladium until September 3.

Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice have added extra songs and lyrics to this slick adaptation of the timeless MGM Musical. Jason Manford and Ashley Banjo fill the boots of the cowardly lion and tin man, while Georgina Onuorah is a lovable, feisty Dorothy with a belter of a voice and genuine star quality. Nikolai Foster's pacy production keeps the action tearing like a tornado down the Yellow Brick Road, and even if the Vegas-meets-steampunk Emerald City is a bit overwhelming, by the time Onuorah sings Somewhere Over The Rainbow, you'll be totally won over.

Zippo's Circus, Bounds Green, August 23-28.

The much-loved Circus stops off at the Oliver Tambo Recreation Ground in Albert Road on the nationwide tour of their latest production Nomads. Whether it's Mongolian acrobats, daring trapeze artists, the awe-inspiring Wheel of Death from Colombia, or the Timbuktu Troupe of tumblers, the show celebrates circus folks' nomadic way of life and has something for all the family.

The SpongeBob Musical, Queen Elizabeth Hall July 26-August 27.

Part of Planet Summer at The Southbank Centre, this all-singing, all dancing family musical has buckets of loopy charm, and was nominated for 12 Tony Awards when it ran on Broadway. Transporting audiences to the underwater realm of the American cartoon series, you are invited down to Bikini Bottom to find out why the community is under threat from the giant volcano, how can Bob outwit the evil Planktons, and just who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Open Air Cinema Screenings, various locations.

The Grove in Hertfordshire is not a bad place to start for al fresco cinema. On August 10 their screening of Don't Worry Darling will see London-based choir Get Gospel performing Harry Styles songs before his on screen appearance. Running until September 3 the Everyman Secret Garden pop up has a top slate of movies from Disney favourites to Top Gun Maverick with fireworks, all ennoyed on beanbags in the walled garden. If that's too far, then the Rooftop Film Club has daytime and evening screenings in Stratford and the Luna Cinema is popping up in Regent's Park, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court, Kew Gardens and Wimbledon.
