Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Hindon
10 picks around Hindon, from 9 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Hindon
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 Hindon, 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.

4Three Bad Men (1926) With live piano score by Meg Morley
About A new series of silent-era classics arrives at The Pound Arts Centre, all accompanied by live piano score performed by BFI Southbank's resident pianist Meg Morley. Since performing for her first silent film in 2016, Meg has quickly become one of the UK's pre-eminent silent film accompanists, performing at various international film festivals and playing reguarly at the London Cinema Museum. In the 1870s, gold is discovered in the Dakota Territory, and wanted men Bull Stanley (Tom Santschi) and Mike Costigan (J. Farrell MacDonald) join thousands of other pioneers on a westward journey in search of wealth. Soon, Bull and Mike see a gang of thugs attacking Lee (Olive Borden), a young woman. They rescue her, but her father is killed during the assault, so Mike and Bull become her guardians. Before long, Bull and Mike leave their criminal pasts behind and devote themselves to Lee.
