Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Rolleston
10 picks around Rolleston, from 6 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Rolleston
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 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Rolleston, 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.

3Stories in Watercolour
About the event A solo exhibition by Celia Brookes The artworks in, “Stories in Watercolour”, are of everyday characters in real life. Celia Creates a composition, using depth, shapes, textures and shadows. These are not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but they also make people pause and wonder, what is the story behind this watercolour painting. Celia won the People’s Choice Award at the Sock Open Exhibition in 2024, the prize being this solo show. Please note on Saturday 11th July 10am – 1pm, half of the gallery will be closed due to a workshop.
