OUTGOING
Kent Leeds Castle Firework Spectacular; 7 and 8 Nov at Leeds Castle; £16; leeds-castle.com/events Grease is the word
this year at the most extravagant event in the Home Counties. Set in the sprawling grounds of this regal castle set on two
islands in the River Len – always great for a weekend walk – this year’s event takes on some of the glamour from the dancing
fountains in Las Vegas as the show tunes theme goes into full swing. Roll up for circus acts and live music while you watch
the night light up to West End classics from all the best shows: Grease, Phantom Of The Opera, Mamma Mia, Chicago and
many more. If feather boas weren’t so flammable, we’d advise wearing one.
