This weekend's Ashby events cover a wide range of entertainment and activities hopefully there is something for everyone.

The Lyric Rooms, on Lower Church Street, has two events on this week.

The first is tonight (Thursday) when the venue is hosting a Psychic Night with local medium, Rebecca Stretton.

This is not a show, it is an intimate evening where Rebecca will do personal table visits to as many individuals as she is able.

Rebecca is a well known local medium and owner of the Broom Closet in Newhall

She has been practicing mediumship professionally for seven years. The price includes a meal but the night may contain strong adult language.

You can buy tickets HERE.

On Saturday, the Lyric Rooms is staging a Disney Princess Afternoon Tea - with a special visit from two Disney Princesses!

Your afternoon Tea will be served using the venue's very own beautiful vintage afternoon tea sets, tablecloths and bunting with a delicious selection of sandwiches, tasty treats and dainty cakes, unlimited tea, coffee and squash.

The Snow Queen and Rapunzel will personally visit your table for a magical one-to-one experience.

Each Princess will also give a special live performance of their well-known song.

There's also autograph and photo opportunities by our beautiful flower wall, and each child will receive a special gift from the Princesses to take home too.

It is sure to be a lovely and special day for a Disney fan of any age! Under twos are free of charge.

You can buy your tickets HERE.

You can take your pick from two circuses over the next few days.

Circus Montini is still on at the Bath Grounds in Ashby and it will be here until Sunday.

It is a fast-paced production packed full of comedy, juggling, balancing, acrobatics, stunts and more.

Circus Montini is a new concept in modern circus. But, it still much to the early days of this unique form of family entertainment which was the toast of the town wherever it went and attracted the lords and ladies of the day as well as the rest of the population.

You can find out more details HERE.

Next Wednesday sees the arrival of James Richards Circus to Moira Furnace and Country Park.

It will be making its first ever trip to the visitor attraction, and the fantastic family show will be spread across five days.

The circus has welcomed even more new artists to the big top with their acts of skill, glamour, danger and daring of course not forgetting a very healthy helping of comedy, all at affordable prices

They say: "James Richards circus is the show kids will enjoy at prices mums and dads will love."

You can find more details HERE.

Conkers has a T-Rex tribute on Saturday night.

But it is more than just that, as it features some of the band members who used to play with the legendary Marc Bolan in the 197Os.

Mickey Finn's T-Rex owes its origins to the legendary Mickey Finn, Paul Fenton and Jack Green - three of Marc Bolan's original musicians.

Their renaissance started in 1997 when they were invited to appear at a memorial concert at Cambridge's Corn Exchange.

In the same week, a presentation by The Performing Rights Society was made at the site of Marc's untimely death.

You can find more details HERE.

As usual, it is a busy week at Brew in Market Street, starting tonight (Thursday) with the start of its Oktoberfest.

On Saturday, the guest street food at Brew is Gaucho Stu Argentinian.

Then, Brew's Lazy Sunday Afternoon session this week is provided by Dorothy Ella & Leah Wlcx.

Just over the border into South Derbyshire, you can find the Yours to Mine Craft Market at Sharpe's Pottery Museum in Swadlincote.
