Things to do this weekend including: Porsche Night, Derby Festé, A Silent Disco and an 80s Candlelight Concert!

Morning! Start your engines, lace up your skates and maybe warm up those vocal cords, because this weekend’s got range. Porsche Night is revving up at Great Northern Classics, Festé is filling the streets with circus magic, and Rollerworld’s pulling an all-nighter with Ibiza beats. Add Bustler’s silent disco, an 80s candlelit concert at the Cathedral, wine festivals, brunch that shames Starbucks and even a spot of bingo, and you’ve got a diary that’s fuller than a Porsche car park on Saturday.
