Coalville Town FC kick-off their league season this Sunday with a noon start against Southwell City.

The club was saved last month after having to resign from the Southern League.

Now, they will re-start in the United Counties League after club officials worked tirelessly to make sure there is still a club to watch at Owen Street.

The 1620s House in Donington le Heath is staging The Adventures of Doctor Dolittle in the Open Air Theatre on Friday.

Doctor Dolittle leads a simple life as the village doctor in sleepy Puddleby-On-The-Marsh.

He often undercharges his patients, or even treats them for free, so he is terribly poor. But one day, with the help of his wise old parrot Polynesia, he makes an extraordinary discovery: that he can talk to animals.

As news of his talent as an animal doctor spreads, animals across the world send messages asking for his help. So he borrows a leaky old ship and embarks on a thrilling quest to cure illness, spread kindness, and better understand animals everywhere. He is joined on his adventures by a loyal animal crew: Jip (a dog), Chee-Chee (a monkey), Dab Dab (a duck), and Gub Gub (an ever-hungry, cake-loving pig) –who together may even help him fix his money problems once and for all!

The Palace Community Centre in Ibstock has its Classic Film Night on Friday.

With the Olympic Games getting under way, Chariots of Fire is showing this time.

 It is based on the true story of two British athletes in the 1924 Olympics: Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice.

The Century Theatre in Coalville has a production of Burlesque on Friday evening.

This is a musical theatre show inspired by the 2010 film Burlesque and performed by a cast of singers and dancers from Bexstar Entertainment Productions.

It's a show for all of the family not to miss.

The Charles Booth Centre in Thringstone has a talk on the life and works of Charles Booth from Professor Sarah Wise, social historian and author, on Friday.

This is a free event organised by Friends of Thringstone and a bar will be available. 

Charles Booth is well known in our local area for providing Thringstone's community centre, which is the oldest in the country, and for also giving freely of his time and money for the local village and surrounding area, but so many people still don't know the full story. 

The talk will seek to explain what the whole country owes to this man, whose work on poverty led to the provision of the Old Age Pension.
