Feeling a bit like the Grinch? Bored of Christmas already - and it's only the first week of December? Here's some events in Leicestershire this weekend that have nothing to do with the festive season. If you've got any other suggestions, let everyone know by leaving a message in the comments section below.
The Sound of Music
Yes, it's Curve's Christmas show - but it's not really about Christmas so we've included it in our list. If you're lucky you might be able to snap up some of the last few tickets remaining for
Saturday's 3pm or 7.30pm performances.
I Believe in Unicorns
This enchanting family show is a tale set in a library full of books that comes to life. The play is aimed at youngsters aged between five and 11. It's on at Southfields Library (best known as the Pork Pie library) at 2pm on Saturday and costs £4 per ticket, £2 for library members.
Richard III walks
There's several chances to join a 2km guided walk exploring the battle of Bosworth, the death of King Richard III and the unlikely victory of Henry Tudor this weekend. The walks take place at 11am and 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.
