Paddle board Taster, Dinton Pastures Country Park, Sat 10 June

I totally look like this when I’m paddle boarding. Who am I kidding, I have a hate hate relationship with water sports (due to a lack of ability). But I’m thinking a taster sesh at Dinton Pastures could get me back in the game and looking as hot as Rihanna. Apparently the instructors are really enthusiastic. They’ll need a miracle to teach me.

The A-List queen of the skies, lands her Louboutin’s on international turf and will hit the tarmac running, with her 20th anniversary UK tour.

Morgan & West’s Utterly Spiffing Spectacular Magic Show For Kids, Hexagon Reading, Sat 10 June

Mutton chops, waistcoats and a cabin set the scene for Morgan & West’s Utterly Spiffing Spectacular Magic Show For Kids. What’s with the long title, guys? With lots of Victorian style comic banter, the time-travelling duo perform a boxful of bafflement and impossibility. The magic is mysterious with brain-bursting illusions with a heavy helping of tom-foolery. A heavy dose of silly sounds good to me. New time (11.30am) added. Tickets £12.
