A new weekend is on the horizon and yet again we have a whole host of brilliant things to keep us all occupied. There’s so many brilliant things to do, how will you chose? Who says you have to? Why not enjoy a fish supper followed by a trip to the theatre to watch one of Shakespeare’s plays on Friday evening, then on Saturday you can immerse yourselves in a Victorian variety evening and to finish it all off you could explore Thrupp Lake and look for wetland birds on Sunday before closing the weekend with a night of smooth jazz… total perfection!
