Start the weekend off laughing at Eccleshall Comedy Club.
Three top-notch comedians will be taking to the stage at Eccleshall Community Centre to provide an evening of entertainment that is not to be missed.
Headlining is Charlie Baker, as seen on The Last Leg, Channel 4's Comedy Gala, Harry Hill's Tea Time, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
He will be joined by Midlands Comedy Award Finalist Pat Draper and UK comedy club regular Kate Martin.
Doors open at 8pm.
Saturday 15 August: Watercolour workshop at Shugborough Estate
Budding artists are invited to a unique watercolour workshop this Saturday.
Guided by artist Sue Chatterton, participants will each create a wonderful landscape painting inspired by the beauty of Shugborough Estate.
Tickets include an exclusive visit to The Painted Paradise exhibition and an outdoor sketching session, followed by buffet lunch and a painting session in the afternoon.
Attendees should bring their own sketchbook, pencils, paint and brushes or select the painting pack ticket option.

Saturday 15 and Sunday 16: Viking Re-Enactment at Stafford Castle
The Vikings are coming to Stafford this weekend!
Back by popular demand the Viking event will be returning to Stafford Castle.
Visit Staffordshire said: "This year we have all you could want with talks, demonstrations (such as weaving and weapon usage), arms and armour displays, cooking, 'Have-a-go' Javelin, 'Kiddie-Vike' and Viking games such as Kubb and Nine Men's Morris!
"This alongside the usual fantastic axe-throwing, archery, coin minting, face painting, birds of prey and our tasty food stalls.
"Everyone can look the part by visiting the wound painting stall to make yourself look fearsome or perhaps more friendly by visiting our face painting stall."
Event admission is free but there will be small charges for the children's workshop and parking.
