Wondering what to do over the next couple of weeks? Here are four of the best events.
Bye Bye Baby is more than your average tribute band
Bye Bye Baby, a musical journey through the career of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, comes to Uckfield's Civic Centre on Saturday, September 28.
A spokesperson for the venue said: "Following on from their successful sell-out visit with us last year we are delighted to welcome the boys back to thrill you with another fantastic evening.
"Bye Bye Baby is more than your average tribute band. They deliver a full theatre show covering the journey of the Four Seasons from the very beginning up until the disco era and the rock and roll hall of fame. In fact a musical journey through the sounds of one of the most successful bands of all time.
"They perform 31 numbers in close four-part harmony with slick choreography and the recognisable falsetto that really sets the scene for a great night."
The show starts at 7.30pm and all tickets cost £19.50. Call 01825 769694 or visit www.civiccentreuckfield.com.

Romeo and Juliet from the brilliant Bowler Crab
Shakespeare specialists Bowler Crab bring Romeo & Juliet to All Saints Centre, Lewes, this Saturday (7.30pm).
Artistic director and producer Stephen J John, said: "I first directed Romeo & Juliet in 2014 and returning to the piece has been most exciting and engaging. It's truly amazing how many new puns and character development points can be found in Shakespeare when revisiting a script.
"This show is completely different with a new design and style, featuring four actors playing multiple roles."
With Stephen himself playing Romeo, the cast also includes Christabel Clark, Jessamy James and Keiran Kerswell. Tickets are £15 from www.bowler-crab.com. Picture by Peter Mould.
