Things To Do This Week: Country Day Party, Binary’s Valentine’s Taster, And Russell Howard Live!
Morning! This week’s basically Valentine’s with options, whether you’re going full date night at Binary, grabbing a sparkling afternoon tea at Denby, or dodging romance entirely and heading to Happy Tuesdays for a laugh. Thursday goes big with Russell Howard live, then Saturday turns into an all day pick and mix with country hats at The Church, crafts, cars, and a few “nice idea actually” plans dotted around town.
Also, stick Wed 25th Feb in the diary now for the Paint Club at Carnero Lounge before it disappears.
