Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Sennybridge
10 picks around Sennybridge, from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Sennybridge
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 Sennybridge, 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.

Join us on this great family day out as we dive beneath the waves and come face to fin with over 2000 creatures at SEA LIFE, Manchester. Here we will go on an amazing underwater adventure as we journey through the underwater tunnels with sharks and rays swimming above. Keep an eye out for the seahorses, octopuses, sea turtles and jellyfish too! Listen to fun talks and watch the feed shows throughout the day, maybe even hold a crab or touch a starfish in an interactive rockpool! Then why not bring your imagination and creativity to life at the LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Manchester, the ultimate indoor LEGO® playground. Surround yourself with millions of LEGO® bricks or channel your inner ninja and prepare to be wowed by the Lego Ninjago city adventure play!

Formed in Oklahoma City, OK in 1983, The Flaming Lips have since become one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable and vital forces in American alternative rock music. The band has garnered three Grammy Awards, a Tony nomination, and an RIAA Gold-certified Record for Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Q Magazine named them oneof the "50 Bands to See Before You Die".
