Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11โ12 July Near Cockayne Hatley
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.
Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Cockayne Hatley, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

6Frankie Thompson/Jonathan Oldfield: WIP
Book tickets for Frankie Thompson/Jonathan Oldfield: WIP at J3 at Cambridge Junction. Jonathan Oldfield Jonathan Oldfield's Exquisite Corpse.ย The Oxford English Dictionary describes a corpse as (1) a body or (2) spoiling a performance by laughing. Jonathan will be using both definitions in his highly anticipated debut show of exquisitely silly character comedy. Creator and star of BBC Radio 4's award-winning Time of the Week. BBC New Comedy Awards finalist. Director of Lorna Rose Treen and Joe Kent-Walters. You also may have seen him in Star Wars: Andor or online in those sketches someone sent to you. 'Brilliant' (Observer) 'Always funny' (Chortle.co.uk) 'Left me snorting with laughter' (BroadwayWorld.com) Frankie Thompson Frankie Thompsonย collects horrible things. Things from down the back of the sofa and floating in her soup, things from the bins of people in power. From x-raying your mum's daydreams and interviewing the walls of your dad's shed (you don't want to know), to things your uncle uploaded on YouTube in 2008 (you really don't want to know). Find out if something horrible you've done is included, and come to the formal presentation of all horrible things thus far. If you laugh it's comedy, if you don't it's performance art.
