Things to do this week: Cardmania, Beat The Streets, And A Strelley Hall Ghost Hunt!
Morning! This week is a tidy mix of daytime plans and late nights. Cardmania lands on Saturday for Pokemon trading and card shopping, Beat The Streets takes over Sunday for a city wide gig crawl supporting Framework, and Strelley Hall runs a ghost hunt on Saturday night that goes right through to 2:00 AM.
This weekend’s highlights:
Cardmania on Saturday for Pokemon swaps, cosplay, and the Spin The Wheel temptation
Beat The Streets on Sunday for a city wide gig crawl supporting Framework
Strelley Hall Ghost Hunt on Saturday night for the “I’m not going in there” moment

This is basically a giant room full of people saying “just one more pack” with their whole chest. Dozens of vendors, stacks of cards everywhere, and a Trading Zone built for Pokemon swaps and dramatic reactions when someone finally offers the one card you have been chasing. There is also a Spin The Wheel setup with prizes like graded cards and merch, plus cosplay and photo moments and plenty of collectibles that keep kids busy while adults pretend it is all “for them”.
SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

This is the original Butler’s inside a Grade II listed former butcher’s shop, so the bacon and sausage options feel suspiciously appropriate. Brunch covers all the big decisions: breakfast burritos, baked eggs including shakshuka, smashed avocado on sourdough, and pancakes that can swing sweet with berries or go full bacon and maple. Vegan options are on the menu too!
