Things to do this week: Craft and Flea Market, A Tribute To Coldplay and a Pamper Night with a Spiritual Reading!

Morning! Fancy a week that lets you shop, sing, and still have enough battery left to enjoy it?

The Craft And Flea Market is your “just a browse” plan that turns into a tote bag situation, A Coldplay tribute night gets the big chorus treatment with wristbands included, and there is a pamper night for anyone who wants a softer Friday.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍣 - Mitsuki - The Sushi And Ramen Place That Wrecks Your “I’ll Be Sensible” Plan
📍- 109 London Road
⏰ - Mon 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM
⏰- Wed to Sun 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Ever gone out for “something light” and ended up ordering half the menu? Mitsuki has that effect. Sushi rolls arrive looking sharp, ramen does the comforting heavy lifting, and there are plenty of hot dishes if you are not in a raw fish phase. It is on the smaller side and it gets busy, so booking ahead is a smart move for evening visits. Tripadvisor reviews are strong too!

ACTIVITY ALLEY

🌟 - A Sky Full Of Stars: A Tribute To Coldplay - Sing Your Heart Out With A Light Up Wristband
📍 - De Montfort Hall
📅 - Thu 29th Jan
⏰ - 7:30 PM
🎟️ - £36 (Includes LED wristband)
📷 - @demontforthall

A full scale Coldplay tribute night that leans into the big choruses and the stadium style production, without you needing to remortgage for tickets. You get the wristband as part of the ticket, so the crowd becomes part of the show, and the setlist is packed with the big ones, including Viva La Vida, Clocks, Yellow, Paradise, Hymn For The Weekend, and A Sky Full Of Stars. Doors are 7:00 PM, then it runs in two halves with an interval, so you can pace yourself and still be home at a decent time.

FRESH EXPERIENCES

✨- Fairywishes Pamper Night - Readings, Treatments, And A Little Browse
📍- Co Op Sports And Social Club
📅- Fri 30th Jan
⏰- 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM
🎟️- £5
📷- @fairywishes_123

This is a Friday night option when you want something softer than the usual. One ticket gets you an evening of holistic therapies, spiritual readings, and stalls to wander, plus a workshop during the night. A guest medium is also appearing, so it is an easy one to do with a mate and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived. Tickets are £5 and they are selling quickly, so booking ahead is the smart move.
