The Ashby Show returns on Sunday - with around 15,000 people expected to attend the event at Cattow's Farm in Heather.

There are plenty of highlights for visitors, with the Red Devils Parachute team and a Lancaster Bomber flypast planned, provided the weather behaves itself.

As well as that, The Derwent Valley Gun Dog Display Team, a Vintage & Classic Car Display and the Rearsby Lodge Quadrille Team will all be there.

The Timber Festival is back at Feanedock near Moira and returns for its fifth year in the National Forest.

Timber is all about celebrating the power of nature through live music, talks, workshops, wellness sessions and more. It was the first ever festival in the UK to focus on forests and nature.
