The kids asked what we're doing this weekend.

I had no answer ready. Same as last Saturday.

Then I saw the big top going up at Boston Park Farm.

A proper circus. Sunday 10th August. Ten minutes from most of Doncaster, if the lights are kind.

Here's the bit that got me though...

I spent twenty minutes last week scrolling for something to do. Three apps. One dead Facebook group. Found nothing. And this was happening the whole time, basically down the road.

That's the exact reason I built What's On in Doncaster in the first place. Not for businesses. For me, standing in the kitchen with no answer to that question.

Well... for me first. Businesses came after.

So if your Saturday looks as flat as mine did, the circus is on at Boston Park Farm this Sunday.

To recap: 10th August, big top, Boston Park Farm. That's the weekend sorted.

Picture the paddock... but the crowd's in costume. Ultra-Con takes over Doncaster Racecourse this weekend and it looks nothing like a race day.

Comic con. At the racecourse.

I had to read it twice when I first listed it on the site.

You're used to seeing that building one way. Suits, race cards, the odd fascinator. Now swap all of that for anime characters, comic stalls, gaming tables and people who spent three months on a costume.

Same doors. Completely different day.

Here's what I like about it.

You don't have to travel for this stuff anymore. For years, if you wanted a proper convention you were on a train to Leeds or Sheffield... and paying for the privilege.

This one's a ten minute walk for half the town.

It's family friendly too. Kids in costume, adults in better costume, traders, guests, the whole thing under one roof.

If you've got a free Saturday and you're on the fence, I'd recommend just going. Worst case, you spend an afternoon watching Doncaster be a bit strange... which is worth it on its own.

So that's the shape of it. Racecourse, this weekend, costumes welcome. Details can be found here.

Debating where to go for fish & chips tonight? We've done the hard work. Three of Doncaster's best chippies, all in one reel. Tag your chip buddy and plan your Friday night crawl. Know a hidden gem we missed? Drop it in the comments.

Thai street food is landing in Elmfield Park.

Not a takeaway. A full festival. Live music, sizzling woks, the kind of day people drive to Leeds for... and half the town won't find out until it's over.

That last part bothers me more than it should.

You've probably done it yourself. Seen the photos on the Monday. Someone you know was there, twenty minutes from your house, and you spent the day scrolling wondering what to do.

It's not that nothing happens in Doncaster. Things happen constantly. They just don't reach you in time.

Taste of Thailand fixes the "nothing on" excuse for one weekend at least. Proper Thai cooking done in front of you, music running all day, in a park you've walked through a hundred times without anything going on in it.

Actually that's not quite fair, Elmfield hosts a few things. But nothing that smells like this will.

I'd recommend deciding now rather than the night before. These days fill up quietly.

Details and tickets can be found here.
