The Century Theatre is showing the movie Wicked Little Letters on Friday night.

In 1920s Littlehampton, locals begin to receive letters full of hilarious profanities and rowdy Irish migrant Rosie is charged with the crime.

But sensing something is amiss, the town's women investigate.

British comedy/mystery based on a true story starring Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley with Timothy Spall, Gemma Jones, Eileen Atkins and Anjana Vason.

You can book your seat HERE.

The Central Bar and Venue in Ibstock is taking you back to the 80s on Saturday night.

S.Y.N.T.H 80s is an electronic tribute featuring the music of the likes of Ultravox, Gary Numan and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

They will be making their Central Bar debut and promise a night of synth pop.

The 1620s House in Donington le Heath has two events this weekend.

On Saturday, the Black Annis Morris Dancers will be at the visitor attraction near Coalville.

They will be performing a short display of traditional Morris dancing in the picturesque setting of our grounds.

There will be two dances lasting approximately 15 minutes each.

This event is FREE – normal Admission charge applies.

On Sunday, the 1620s House hosts a talk by James Wright, Historic Building Mythbusting.

Uncovering Folklore, History and Archaeology

Go to any ancient building and there will be interesting, exciting, and romantic stories presented to the visitor. They are commonly believed and widely repeated – but are they really true?

These stories include those of secret passages linking ancient buildings, spiral staircases in castles giving advantage to right-handed defenders, ship timbers used in the construction of buildings on land, blocked doors in churches which are thought to keep the Devil out and claims to be the oldest pub in the country.

In this talk, archaeologist James Wright will explain the development of such myths and investigate the underlying truths behind them. Sometimes the realities hiding behind the stories are even more interesting, romantic, and exciting than the myth itself.
