CULTURE CLUB
UNMISSABLE OUTDOOR CONCERTS Whether it’s Van Morrison crooning in the gardens of a stately home, or the winning combination of great tunes and a flutter on the gee-gees, this summer is a chance to catch big names in unique settings around our region. Newmarket Nights, which offers punters a day at the races followed by a concert, returns to Newmarket Racecourse, bringing acts including Tom Jones (23 July), Olly Murs (30 July), and Rick Astley (13 August). Also during August, enjoy the Heritage Live series at Audley End House and Gardens. Pack up a bottle of fizz and a picnic and join the fun on the 14th, when a true great, Van Morrison, takes to the stage with classics like Brown Eyed Girl, Moondance and Have I Told You Lately , with support from The Waterboys. On the 13th, there’s James Blunt, Hackney Colliery Band and Craig Charles, while a tempo change on the 15th sees Russell Watson take to the stage alongside the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
OPEN-AIR CINEMA
After a long winter, the world is waking up again – and so is the much-loved Star & Mouse Picture Show! This season, cinemagoers are invited to enjoy a drive-in experience with a bit of Star & Mouse magic. “We don’t do things by halves, so forget about any drive-in experience you’ve had before, because we are going to spoil you with so much more,” say organisers. “Forget those tiny LED screens mounted on the back of an ugly old lorry plonked on a square bit of tarmac. You’ll be watching your movie in style and we promise you, there’ll be a great view. Prepare yourself for car bingo, quizzes, live music and food and drinks, as we bring a little pre-film entertainment your way before your movie starts at nightfall.” The season kicks off on 28 May with a screening of Oscar-winner A Star is Born, the tear- jerking blockbuster starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The next night, it’s Notting Hill , followed by Breakfast at Tiffany’s on the 30th, while June yields Point Break (4th), Moulin Rouge (5th), and Le Mans ’66 (6th). All screenings take place at Burwash Manor in Barton, with snacks and drinks available to purchase. starandmouse.com
