Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11–12 July Near Seaside
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 Seaside, 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.

5Across The Universe
Across The Universe is a celebration of The Beatles' "studio years" 1966-1970. This unique show featuring live band and orchestra is a must-see for all Beatles fans. The music recorded by the Beatles from 1966-1970 represents some of the most ground-breaking strides in popular music history, in terms of songwriting ingenuity, recording techniques and the establishing of different musical genres within pop music. Many of these innovative recordings were never intended to be recreated live. Now in homage to this sensationally creative period in The Beatles' career, Across the Universe brings these recordings to life with stunning detail and accuracy. No wigs, no costumes. Across the Universe's intention is musical authenticity, assisted by world class orchestrations from live strings and brass.
