The Bath Grounds music event returns for a third successive year - and is once again a two-day event.

It was introduced to the town in 2021 and was one of the first events to be held in Ashby as it emerged from lockdown.

This year, the day has been divided into mainly local bands on the Saturday - although the headline is an Elvis Presley tribute, A Vision of Elvis.

Sunday has a slightly more laid back feel - along the lines of previous Proms events, with the Ashby Big Band returning to the Bath Grounds.

Headlining is a Showaddywaddy tribute guaranteed to get people dancing, before some grand finale fireworks.

Ashby de la Zouch's Town Centre Manager, Stuart Benson, says there will be something for everyone.

He said: "There will also be an artisan market at the Bath Grounds on both days, near the South Street entrance.

"The Big Weekend stage area is all ticket, but the market will be free and runs from 10am on both days.

"This event is now becoming a firm favourite in the Ashby calendar and we're sure it'll be as popular as ever this weekend."
