Ashby Statutes returns to the town centre this weekend.

Starting Friday and running through to Tuesday, the famous fair has been coming to Ashby for centuries.

The only disruption to the event was during the Covid year in 2020 - and even then, a smaller version was set up to maintain its record of being part of the town's history for over 800 years.

North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC), along with Ashby de la Zouch Town Council and organisers Pat Collins Funfair will be staging the annual event.

The fair will feature a variety of traditional and modern rides and attractions, meaning there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Organisers say there will also be the usual range of food and refreshment stalls available during the event.

Visitors are advised to plan for delays due to road closures and one-way systems, especially around peak travel times in the morning and evening.

Ashby Film Nights continues on Wednesday with a showing of Wicked Little Letters.

Based on true events, this comedy is set in a 1920s genteel coastal town. Olivia Colman plays Edith Swan who found herself inundated with, awful foul language letters.

Jessie Buckley plays Rose Gooding, an Irish immigrant accused of authoring the letters. Colman is great fun as she hurls inventive expletives at Rose. A great supporting cast adds to the comedy and slapstick.

The film is being shown at Ashby School.
