The official Perth council web site has all the details, but events include sporting and cultural selections in one of the Scotland’s most welcoming cities.

On a personal note – Perth is one of my favourite places in Scotland, second only to Inverness, due to the general appearance of the area, it’s location by the River Tay and the friendliness of the people.

Unlike a lot of experience days, Silverstone lets you get behind the steering wheel and hurtle round the tracks with a wide range of cars from a 400bhp V8 Ferrari 360 Modena, Audi R8, Lotus Exige or Lamborghini Gallardo up to the Formula Silverstone single seater racing car where you really are in the driving seat and in total control!

So if you fancy yourself as the next Michael Shumacher or Jenson Button why not give the Silverstone days a try. Silverstone Experience Days are available through BuyaGift.com – click here for more details.

Prom Art events will run from 9.30am to 4pm on both Sunday, 29th August and Sunday, 26th September 2010, when a 600-metre stretch of promenade in the Edwardian resort will be filled with stalls displaying and selling paintings, pottery, jewellery, felt work, glassware, sculpture, hand made cards, knitwear and much more besides.

Over 124 artists have booked to take part in this Prom Art season, with both amateurs and professionals exhibiting and items priced from just a few pounds upwards. Artists and artisans come from ten different counties, with 37 travelling over 50 miles to take part in Prom Art.

As well as selling the items on display, over half of the exhibitors will take private commissions, producing something totally bespoke for the individual customer.

Browsing the array of arts and crafts work on show, whilst taking in the magnificent Morecambe Bay views and sea air, is a pleasure in itself and a perfect way to get some exercise or walk the dog.

A children’s play area is located adjacent to the promenade and refreshments are also on hand. Car parking is just a short stroll away, as is the Grange-over-Sands railway station, which lies on the Lancaster to Barrow-in-Furness line. Free musical and dance entertainment is laid on at various times, too.

This is much more than a re-enactment of the battles themselves. During the weekend the Wardour Garrison local re-enactment group will provide a living history camp with displays weaving, cookery and surgery from the English civil war.

For years the garden was overgrown and neglected as other parts of the park were being used as an agricultural research centre, but from June 2011 the Italian and Rose Gardens will be revealed to the public after this extensive renovation.

The park belonged to the Grey family from the Middle Ages right through to the mid 20th Century, and much of the garden’s splendour was created during the 18th Century by famous names such as Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, William Kent, Batty Langley and Thomas Archer.

What makes Wrest Park so unique is that unlike the majority of formal gardens, each part of the garden was kept in it’s original style rather than being replaced by the new vouge designs, thus giving an important historic angle to this opening.

Within the magnificent French-inspired Grade 1 listed mansion, there are plans to restore the the Countess’ Sitting Room and host an exhibition of the estate charting it’s changes throughout the centuries.

Full details of the plans from English Heritage
