What's on in Street and Glastonbury is brought to you by our sponsor The Geeky Gamer.

The Geeky Gamer, a cafe and gaming club in Street, who also sell a range of paints, miniatures and board games - and there's always something going on.

Each weekend, the shop holds games of Heroquests - an easy, fantasy based boardgame that's great for younger gamers. The sessions take place at 11am on both Saturday and Sunday and there will be people on hand to help out if you've never played before. To book your spot, call 07551 022478.

Meanwhile, if you're into Magic: The Gathering, or Pokemon, you might want to know that the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Elite trainer box just landed in the shop - along with many other great Pokemon boosters, tins and boxes. They've also had a fresh delivery of Magic the Gathering; March of the Machines bundles, decks and boosters, too - so get your geek on, and pick yourself up a power-up.

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, the All Roads Festival, taking place at the King Arthur from Friday to Sunday. Get ready to rock out to some of the best indie and alternative acts around, with tickets starting at just £65.

The Round the Tor 10K Road Race on Sunday is a must-do for the sport-inclined. This race takes in a 10k, traffic-free, road circuit of Glastonbury Tor. There are also 5k, 3k, and junior fun run races, so there is something for all the family.

If you're looking for a more spiritual experience on Sunday, don't miss Glastonbury's Beltane celebrations. The Glastonbury Dragons May Fayre and Parade is not to be missed. This annual event celebrates the town's pagan history and features a parade through the streets, live music, and street performers. It takes place on Sunday in the town centre and is free for all to attend.

For a night of laughs, check out Jack and Jordan: A Sketch Show which is coming to Street. These up-and-coming comedians are sure to have you in stitches with their hilarious sketches and witty banter. The show is on 28 May at Strode Theatre, with tickets starting at just £10.

If you're a music lover, mark your calendar for April 29 when the talented singer-songwriter Jya Raine and musician Kitty Stewart take the stage at St Benedict's Church in Glastonbury. Tickets for Wild Sessions Presents: Jya Raine and Kitty Stewart start at just £10.

For a good cause, join the Stones for Avalon fundraiser for the Mayor's charity on Saturday at Glastonbury Town Hall. This event features live music, a raffle, and a silent auction, with all proceeds going to charity. Tickets are only £10, so it's a great way to have fun and do some good.
