    Rainbow Classic Car Run

    The day will start at the Buttercups Tearoom, Billesdon (between Leicester and Uppingham) with registration and collection of route information and the possibility of coffee and a bacon cob. There will then be a relaxed run of around 50 miles through the Leicestershire countryside after which we arrive at Stonehurst Farm, Mountsorrel to join a display of other Drive it Day cars.

    Registration starts at 08:30 with all cars away by 10:00. During the run there is no time pressure and entrants are encouraged to take their time and enjoy the scenery stopping for refreshment as necessary before completing the day with a hog roast. However, if a hog roast is too much the Stonehurst cafe will be open for something lighter.

    The event is, as ever, run by volunteers in aid of Rainbows and all proceeds go to the Rainbows charity.

Packed with twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud moments, Cluedo is a fast-paced, madcap comedy that will keep you guessing (and giggling) until the final shocking reveal.

    Following their smash-hit productions of The 39 Steps, Blood Brothers, Calendar Girls, and The Haunting, The Festival Players return to MMC with this riotous theatrical romp that proves murder can be absolutely murderous fun!
