Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Seghill

10 picks around Seghill, from 8 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Seghill

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 Seghill, 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.

Summer Ball1

Summer Ball

at Strictly Starters

Our end-of-term dances are open to all couples who have attended any of our Strictly Starters dance classes and any of their family and friends who may want to give dancing a go, or simply want to come along and watch. There are spot prizes, fun, games and a chance to practice and enjoy the dances couples have worked so hard to learn during the Term classes. Dress code is smart casual and you can bring your own drinks and nibbles along to help the evening go with a swing.
