The weekend is dominated by Ashby de la Zouch Town Council's Festival in the Park on Sunday, which will be held at the Bath Grounds.

The event takes place from 12noon-7pm and is a free community event.

But the first hour will be dedicated to commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

You are invited to bring your own chairs and a picnic blanket for a day which will include live music, entertainers, children's rides, a licensed Bar, food vendors and community groups.
