Hi,

This weekend puts the jury box in your hands — a true-crime stage show has you weighing up one of Britain's most notorious murder cases, while The Shires bring their country harmonies to St Nicholas' Chapel and the Town Band give us a free night of film classics down the Methodist church. Proper range for a Lynn weekend.

Have a good one.
