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

4The Hare Who Wrote The Stars
at The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley
Volume One Tongue returns to Clearwell Caves to share their new show : The Hare Who Wrote The stars. The culmination of three years writing across folk, trip and rock traditions, they bring a live band, puppets and Butoh dance, 100ft deep inside one of the UK's oldest mining networks. This is a handmade show. Expect avant-garde performance of live music, puppets and Butoh. Even though this is a summer performance, it will be cold underground (10 degrees), so make sure to wear warm clothing and flat soled footwear with a good grip.
