Hi,

Grab a blanket — Tuesday Market Place turns into an open-air cinema on Friday, the Bandstand's still going strong in The Walks on Sunday, and there's a stitching workshop for anyone after something a bit different. The QEH's front door is also moving from Monday, so worth a read before your next visit.

Have a good one.
