The Guildhall Museum turns candlelit for a string quartet playing a full set of Fleetwood Mac, inside Leicester's oldest surviving timber building, with two sittings so a sold-out one doesn't leave you stood outside in the cold.

Rumours is one album the quartet can't argue about on stage, which already makes this a calmer night than the one Fleetwood Mac themselves ever managed.

Dough What, on King Street, bakes its dough fresh on site every day and serves thin Neapolitan next to thick Chicago deep dish, the first place in Leicester trying to out-Chicago Chicago.

The Deep Dish is baked in a steel pan, so it lands looking more like a pie than a pizza. The Meat Feast does not hold back on the toppings, and the Chocolate & Nutella Pizza turns pudding into a second main course.

HOUSE OF THE WEEK

The Mill House sits on the River Soar in just under an acre of lawns and willow trees, with its own mooring and fishing rights, a stone barn with garaging for four cars, and a sauna on the top floor.

Most gardens end at a fence. This one ends at a river, which turns "I'm just popping to the bottom of the garden" into a much bigger announcement.
