<p>Ever fantasise about jumping on a plane, somewhere, anywhere, just to take a break from it all? This one-woman comedy starring Mina Anwar tells the story of a woman who handles an existential crisis the only reasonable way and jets off to Greece alone to rediscover herself. <em><a href="https://www.leedsplayhouse.org.uk/event/shirley-valentine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shirley Valentine</a></em> hits the stage at Leeds Playhouse <strong>Tue 8 – Sat 26 Apr</strong>, and it might just have you on the first flight outta here.</p>

<p>As ever, there&#8217;s bags on offer in the concert department in Leeds, from the singalong mayhem of the <a href="https://www.firstdirectarena.com/events/detail/sugababes-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sugababes</a>&#8216; largest ever UK Tour (First Direct Arena, <strong>Tue 8 Apr</strong>) to the dulcet tones of <a href="https://www.firstdirectarena.com/events/detail/gregory-porter-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gregory Porter</a> – aka Dressed Crab, runner up on this year&#8217;s <em>Masked Singer</em> (First Direct Arena, <strong>Sat 26 Apr</strong>). But if you want the inside line, our two top tips are <a href="https://www.seetickets.com/event/lilo/oporto/3282233" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lilo</a> at Oporto on <strong>Tue 8 Apr</strong>, and <a href="https://www.academymusicgroup.com/o2academyleeds/events/1523796/peach-pit-tickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peach Pit</a> at the O2 Academy on <strong>Wed 9 Apr</strong>. Both names on the indie circuit (albeit the latter far more established than the former), don&#8217;t miss Lilo&#8217;s gorgeous, heartfelt tunes in an intimate setting, and Peach Pit&#8217;s boppier vibe in a bouncing venue. Both are hot stuff.</p>

<p>What better way to see in the spring than a bit of agricultural fun? <a href="https://springtimelive.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Springtime Live</a> returns to Harrogate on <strong>Sat 5 Apr</strong> courtesy of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, once again giving Yorkshire&#8217;s little ones a peek into life on the farm. They&#8217;ll meet all sorts of four-legged friends, from the standard farmyard crew to exotic reptiles and even giant tortoises. All workshops are free with your entry ticket (£8/ £13/ £38 for family ticket), and it sells out quick, so get in there now and <a href="https://springtimelive.co.uk/tickets/">book your slot</a>.</p>
