People can get involved by taking part in the free activities, including tennis, sports games, rounders and learning about the best ways to get out and active in Coalville.
  • Saturday 29 June 6pm until 9.30pm – An evening of live music from Mudslide Band and the Carton Kings Band as well as a wide selection of street food to enjoy.

The Century Theatre in Coalville has two shows by the D-Day Darlings on Sunday.

Relive the nostalgic days of wartime Britain as the delightful D-Day Darlings take you on a musical journey back to the heart of 1940s war time Britain as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of `D-Day`.

The D-Day Darlings, semi-finalists in the hit ITV programme `Britain's Got Talent' are Britain's premier wartime act. The group have now become a head lining fixture at endless theatre performances, countless TV appearances and at many Armed Services reunions.

Enjoy the most memorable songs that kept a nation smiling through its darkest days, this D-Day Darlings concert show is complimented by audio visual footage of the war time era.

Audiences delight as the `The D-Day Darlings` pay homage to the most popular artistes of the wartime era, including Dame Vera Lynn, The Andrews Sisters, Gracie Fields and many more.

Hear all the classic wartime songs: "Pack Up Your Troubles", "Keep The Home Fires Burning", "I'll Remember You", "White Cliffs Of Dover", "It's a Long Way To Tipperary", "We`ll Meet Again" and many more.

The Palace Community Centre in Ibstock is showing the latest in its Classic Film Night series on Friday.

This week it will be Howards End - a 1992 period romantic drama film directed by James Ivory.

The film's narrative explores class relations in turn-of-the-20th-century Britain, through events in the lives of the Schlegel sisters.

It stars Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter and Vanessa Redgrave, with James Wilby, Samuel West, Jemma Redgrave and Prunella Scales in supporting roles.

More details are HERE.

On Saturday, the Palace in Ibstock has Psychic Bingo.

There will be completely unbelievable psychic powers, bingo and family fun. 

Hosted by the magnificently mysterious medium, Debra Kia Ora and her little psychic sidekick, Sid.

The bingo is real! The prizes are chocolate! All the rest is done in the Spirit of Fun.
