Usually known as Vic Fest, this year's edition of the event has been renamed to honour former pub owner Victoria Kevans, who passed away earlier this year following a battle with cancer.

Live music, beer, cider and great food from Bun Lovin' Criminals and Dirty Dough Pizza Co. will all be on offer this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with the pub promising "non-stop good times".

It will be for a good cause too, with fundraising taking place for Victoria's memorial and her two chosen charities, EGFR Positive and Yes to Life Charity.

2. Hertfordshire Garden Show - Knebworth House

If you're looking for some garden inspiration ahead of summer, then the Hertfordshire Garden Show at Knebworth House is a must-visit this weekend.

5. Market Lates - Watford

Market Lates at Watford Market will be taking place from 6pm to 11pm, and will be a great way to start the long weekend.

Live music from Soraya Ray and Studio 6 Band will provide the entertainment, as well as a book signing with Apprentice and social media star Tom Skinner. Bosh!
