5 things to do in the East Midlands this weekend

Ikano Robin Hood Half Marathon, Nottingham
Join thousands of runners for the Ikano Bank Robin Hood Marathon, Half Marathon, Mini Marathon and Corporate Challenge. A new route for the 2017 half marathon has been announced, with organisers taking on board runners’ feedback by removing the switchback on Abbey Street. Acting on this feedback, the organisers have designed a new route to replace this element, which will see runners using parts of Lenton Boulevard and Church Street for the first time.

The Suitcase, Derby Theatre
Based on a true story, The Suitcase, has been nominated in the New Director category in the Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards for The Rosalie van der Gucht Prize. Director James Ngcobo saw enormous theatrical potential in this poignant and emotive story and so adapted it for stage. The production – evocative, visual and moving – encompasses African storytelling and lyrical music at its very best.
