The Brinks Festival is well underway in Wisbech this year, offering a variety of events with something for everyone until bank holiday Sunday.
Amongst the activities still to come are music performances, drama, film, photography, literature and visual arts in venues around Wisbech.
Here are four events not to miss:
1. A Wop Bop A Loo Bop by Kevin Rodgers
Octavia Hill’s Birthplace House
Friday May 20 (7pm)
Tickets: £3.85
Join Kevin Rodgers for a look at the music that revolutionised musical tastes – at least among the young people of that time, and pretty much changed the world. Relive those great times, just for an hour or so with music from 1950’s rock and roll heroes; Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wee Willie Harris, Buddy Holly and the Crickets.
2. The Brinks Colour Run
Wisbech Park
Saturday May 21 (10.30am)
Tickets: £8.85 adult, £6.85 child, £28 family
The Brinks Colour Run is a one of a kind experience. It’s a 5k untimed run (or walk) where dressed in a white t-shirt (provided) you will be covered in explosions of coloured powder at various points around the course.
3. Royal Mail & the Royal Stamps
Octavia Hill’s Birthplace House
Friday May 27 (2pm)
