Pants in the Park
Pulling your pants on over your trousers may not seem like the most stylish way to dress but it is almost certainly mandatory for the prostate cancer charity run taking place on Fathers Day 2008. Whether you want to run with the pant-wearers or simply watch them go by, Battersea Park is the place to do it.Doctor Who
Which dads don't have a lingering memory of hiding behind the sofa in fear of the Daleks or nagging their Nan to knit them an extra long stripy scarf? Treat the sci fi buff (or child) in your Dad on Fathers Day with a trip to the Doctor Who exhibition at Earls Court.Motor Expo
The Motor Expo London is the UK’s largest free motor show and features a wide range of the world’s most recent (not to say finest) cars and bikes.

There will be a number of first UK showings with all kinds of cool cars being seen on these shores for the very first time.Cricket Extravaganza
If your dad is the sporting type (or just likes to escape the house) then this is an excellent event to take him to on Fathers Day.
