Things to do this week: The Harlem Globetrotters, Springsteen By Candlelight and a Plant Festival!
Morning! This week’s got a bit of everything, from big midweek entertainment to quieter plans that still feel like you’ve done something. The Harlem Globetrotters land on Wednesday for a fun family night out, Thursday has Springsteen by candlelight at the Albert Hall for anyone who loves a singalong with a softer setup, and the weekend is split between a Country Day Party if you want something lively and a Houseplant Festival if your living room is starting to look sad.

They’re back for their 100 year celebrations and it’s basically basketball mixed with comedy and tricks, so it works even if you’re not a sports person. Loads of dunks, silly moments, and bits with the crowd, plus it’s one of those shows kids stay locked in for the whole time. There are extras you can add on when you book, like the Magic Pass and court pass, and those happen before the main show.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP
🍕- Bistro 66 Beeston: Coffee, Mediterranean Style Food, And Fresh Sourdough Pizza
📍- 66 High Road, Beeston
📅- Mon to Sun 9:30 AM - 10:30 PM
📷- @bistro66_beeston
Bistro 66 is a family run spot that works from morning through evening, whether you’re after a coffee, a relaxed lunch, or an easy dinner plan. The menu leans Mediterranean, and the sourdough pizzas are a big part of the draw, made fresh and served until the evening. It’s a good one for catch ups, date nights, and group tables that want food everyone can agree on. Online collection ordering is available too.

ACTIVITY ALLEY
🕯️- Springsteen By Candlelight: Can You Get Through Thunder Road Without Getting Emotional?
📍- Albert Hall
📅 - Thu 26th Feb
⏰ - 7:30 PM to 9:45 PM (doors 6:30 PM)
🎟️ - From £33 (last few tickets)
📷 - @alberthallnotts
It’s a full tribute night to Bruce Springsteen, but with the candlelight setup so it feels a bit more special than your standard singalong. You’ll get the big songs everyone knows, plus the slower ones that hit you in the chest a bit. Good shout if you want live music without standing in a sticky club for three hours.
FRESH EXPERIENCES
🌿- Houseplant Festival: Got A Plant That’s On Its Last Nerve And Needs Help?
📍- Woodthorpe Park Plant Nursery
📅 - Sat 28th Feb - Sun 1st Mar
⏰ - 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
📷 - @woodthorpe_park_plant_shop
Two days in the Tropical House with loads of houseplants to browse, plus all the bits you end up buying anyway like compost, feeds, moss poles and pots. You can get a struggling plant repotted by an expert, ask the team about pests and care, and grab coffee and cake while you’re there. There are also bookable workshops if you want something hands on, including propagation, styling, and “why your plant is dying” fixes.
