Age Against the Machine | The Strines Nightingale | Sat 24 August | 3-7pm
'Older clubbers' can enjoy a 'night out' during the day at this daytime party at The Strines Nightingale.
A description for this event reads: "London's premier party, for the slightly older party animal, is coming to the picturesque village of Strines this August Bank Holiday weekend for a daytime special from 3pm-7pm. Which means you can fight for your right to still party, but be tucked up in bed by 9pm.
"Former barrow boys Don and Reg will be dropping the finest: pop, indie, rock, disco, Motown, rock 'n' roll, power ballads, soul, punk, ska, northern soul, funk and anything we think will get the floor moving.
"And because the party will finish at 7pm, you'll have time to run off for a nice evening stroll, head home for Match of The Day, or you can just hang around at The Nightingale and have a few more drinks."
Visitors must be over 30.

Roughley's Bike Show | St Peter's Square | Sun 25 August
Roughley's Bike Show makes a welcome return to Stockport town centre on Sunday 25 August.
Expect live music, food, drink, and of course plenty of bikes and cars!
Described as one of the UK's premier independent charity events, the aim of the show is to raise money while bringing the biking community together.
A description for this event reads: "We raise money for as many charities as we can. Each year with the help of you, the Stockport and biking community, we have the ability to help those less fortunate than us.
"The highlight to the August bank holiday, come down and see why we get bigger every year. Last year over 7,000 people came to see our show, this year let's make the atmosphere and good times even bigger."
