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.

4Across 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.
