As we all get back into the swing of things following the Easter break, we’ve found five of the best things for you to do this weekend.
From comedy to cleaning up, The Argus has compiled a list of things you can do this weekend.
Alan Carr
The chatty man himself will take to the stage[1] at the Brighton Dome on Saturday as part of his Regional Trinket tour.
A spokesman for the event said: “From the exhilarating high of his star-studded wedding day to the low of lockdown stuck on a farm, a lot has changed since Alan’s last tour four years ago, including Alan.
“Nowadays, it’s all about finding happiness and joy in the small things – why be a national[2] treasure when you can be a Regional trinket?!”
