WHAT'S ON IN ASHBY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR MAIN SPONSOR THE LYRIC ROOMS 

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

Don't forget, you can advertise your event for free at Ashby Nub News - and reach thousands of our readers by doing so.

Whether it is a gig, a comedy night, a pub quiz or maybe your monthly society meeting, just fill in the form HERE and we will list it for you in our What's On section.

The Lyric Rooms in Lower Church Street has two nights of comedy as we head towards Christmas.

On Monday, it is the Ashby Funhouse Comedy & Curry Night Christmas Special at the Lyric Rooms.

Topping the bill is Raymond and Mr Timpkins Revue, one of the absolute funniest and most unique acts you will ever see in a comedy club.

Countless crazy props set to a musical backing track will have you crying with laughter.

Britain's Got Talent have been begging them to go on the show every year since it started, but they keep declining!

Opening the night will be the effervescent and pleasantly overpowering Annette Fagon. With her unusual observational comedy and hilarious mix of subjects, ranging from her own mental well-being to controlling her anger, she fascinates the crowd.

Completing the line-up is writer for Mock the Week, the strangely charming Welsh man Morgan Rees with his densely packed arsenal of impressive one-liners and hilarious short stories.

More details are HERE.

Then, on Tuesday, the Lyric Rooms stages Part Two of its Christmas Special.

Comics Hal Cruttenden, Paul McCaffrey and Samantha Day, will be introduced by compere Spiky Mike.

Details of how to book are HERE.

Friday sees the Concordia Choir present a selection of Christmas music.

The Choir and Enigma Brass Ensemble's Christmas Concert will be staged at the Holy Trinity Church in Ashby.

More details are HERE.

On Friday morning, there is a chance to have a family breakfast with alpacas - or rein-pacas in this case, at Charnwood Forest Alpacas in Boundary.

Mark your calendars and immerse yourself in an enchanting breakfast event with Santa and his specially-dressed reinpacas, all set to bring joy and cheer to your morning.

Indulge in a delightful meal, unwrap a festive activity pack, and unlimited tea, coffee, or squash. The magic continues with a visit with our lovable reinpaca companions.

More details are HERE.

The Ashby Concert Band will be staging a Christmas event at the Holy Trinity Church on Saturday.

Ashby Concert Band will be performing festive favourites to get us all into the Christmas spirit.

You can enjoy many musical favourites including The Christmas Song, Sleigh Ride and A Most Wonderful Christmas.

On Saturday evening, Ashby Jazz Club presents The Kalamazoo Dance Band at the Venture Theatre in North Street.

This is the club's Christmas event and includes a Christmas snack.
