Canadian roots/swing duo Over The Moon's Suzanne Levesque and Craig Bignell are award winning multi-instrumentalists and vocalists who met, fell in love, got married and discovered their voices blend so well together that people often tear up upon hearing them sing.

Living on a ranch in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, it's inevitable there will be a strong sense of place and the rhythms of the land when you start to make music. When the couple released their debut album, the resonances were there for all to hear, reflecting the pulse of life lived in a territory that is both rugged and beautiful.

Tickets £16 (£18 door) under 16s half price.

The flower of military children is said to be the dandelion as they can put down roots anywhere and thrive. This exhibition is a diary of Georgina experience in the military with her children, trying to capture the precious fleeting moments which tell the strongest story. The intention is to broadcast a wider picture of military life than is usually seen, but the core will be through the lens of the family and the impact of the wonderful but often itinerant, and sometimes hard life, they lead.

Alongside this story she will be exhibiting a selection of paintings from her flower studies, showing the variety of beauty in the world around us. The idea being a balance of people and nature, intertwined with a flower theme.

An exhibition of oil paintings and block relief prints. Inspired by the rural landscapes of Yorkshire and The Tees valley

Echoes: Impressions of a Northern Landscape, is a collection of work from local artist Corrin Laws, recording traces of past lives that endure in our ever-changing landscape.

The oil paintings feature weathered barns nestled into an atmospheric landscape, aging hedgerows, landmark trees and meandering river banks, lined with flood torn willows and giant hog-weed. A natural pallet and impressionist style describe the changing colours and light throughout the seasons.

Her monotone prints focus in on the details and highlight the variety of plant form and texture she finds as she works. This landscape is home and is rich in meaning and memories.

From 6 June 1944 to 30 April 1945, the Green Howards were in the vanguard of the fight to start the task of building a new world.

The Green Howards had endured two months of fighting in Normandy. Their next part in the liberation of Europe would see them disentangled from the hedges and ditches of the French countryside to fight in a more mobile war. They would cross the battlefields of Belgium, places whose names would have been familiar to their First World War contemporaries.

Then on through Holland, battling to cross the Albert Canal and operations in support of the attacks on Nijmegen, before moving on into Germany itself to eventually cross the Elbe river just south of Hamburg.

Museum Talk tickets £5. Booking essential. Call 01748 826561.

London, 1660. King Charles II has exploded onto the scene with a love of all things loud, extravagant and sexy. And at Drury Lane, a young Nell Gwynn is causing stirrings amongst the theatregoers.
