Pop along to Laughing Horse at The Pheonix for 50 minutes of free musical comedy with a hint of electronica...

Prepare to be dazzled at the St George Square Theatre where Dazzle Jewellery will be showing thousands of their unique designs from the likes of Diana Greenwood and Naomi James.

After you've got your comedy fix, head over to the Royal Botanical Garden to see the first full UK exhbition from Robert Rauschenberg in 30 years.

Enjoy an aerial dance and cirucs extravaganza with All or Nothing and Strange Bird Zircus at Dance Base.
