Vienna in Long Eaton

Sunday 22nd May | Long Eaton | 11am - 4pm | £8

Zig Zag considers Long Eaton among the most underrated places in the UK for historic buildings; a big claim, but where else can you find Viennese secessionism, art-nouveau shopfronts, giant Edwardian mansions and some of the largest tenement Victorian factory buildings anywhere to be found, all in one small provincial town? Long Eaton will surprise you.

Join them from ZigZag HQ for a leisurely ride on a traffic free route along the river to Long Eaton or meet them at Long Eaton train Station at midday. Refreshments and lunch will be available from a great cafe next to the station.

A-HA: THE MOVIE (12A)

Friday 20th May | Broadway Cinema | 8:45pm | From £5

A-ha's hit Take On Me is still one of the most played songs of the last millennium. This documentary follows the band over a period of four years, sharing the full story of how three young men followed their impossible dream of making it big. Almost 35 years after their breakthrough, a-ha still creates magic on stage with their melancholic and timeless music.

The film closely portrays the challenging creative and personal dynamics of a group of three strong individuals. This is a story of great music, big ambitions, broken friendship – and maybe forgiveness.
