The family-friendly celebration of all things Thai returns to the 60+ acre Preston Park this summer – bringing with it traditional music, clothes, dancing, massage, Muay Thai Boxing, authentic cuisine and Ladyboy shows. A riot of colour and culture, everyone should be able to find something new to enjoy! magicofthailand.co.uk Brightonginclub.com The Dickies Sun 23rd July Lewes Con Club Formed in Los Angeles in 1977 these punks have consistently made use of catchy melodies, deep harmonies, and a humorous, comical style that has been called “bubble- gum punk”.

 Star of the West End (Les Misérables), television (I’ll Do Anything), and radio, Jodie Prenger plays the titular role in the 30th anniversary adaptation of the Willy Russell comedy. Shirley Valentine tells the story of a middle-aged Liverpudlian housewife who yearns for a life beyond talking to the wall whilst frying chips.

During his time here he produced around 150 works. He’d take long strolls to seek out inspiration and this exhibition follows his walking and painting sequences. Brightonmuseums.org.uk 21
