Looking for something to do this week in the Scottish Borders?

Weather conditions will probably make indoor activity preferable so here are some suggestions if you are a cinema or theatre buff?

The Pavilion Cinema in Galashiels will be showing Belfast, a poignant story of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood starring Academy Award winner Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds, and introduces 10 year old Jude Hill. Dornan and Balfe play a passionate working-class couple caught up in the mayhem, with Dench and Hinds as sharp-witted grandparents.

Also showing will be Sing2 when Buster Moon and his friends must persuade reclusive rock star Clay Calloway to join them for the opening of a new show.

Cinema buffs can also watch Cyrano, Boom of the Dust, Marry Me, Death on the Nile, Uncharted, Moonfall and Spiderman – No Way Home. For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, the friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.

Belfast and Sing 2 will also be shown in the Eastgate Theatre in Peebles along with Romeo and Juliet from the Roya Ballet. Romeo and Juliet fall passionately in love, but their families are caught up in a deadly feud. They marry in secret, but tragic circumstances lead Romeo to fight and kill Juliet’s cousin Tybalt. As punishment, he is banished from the city.

When Juliet’s parents force her to marry Paris, she takes drastic action by drinking a potion to make her appear dead so she can escape to join Romeo. News of the plan fails to reach him and he returns to visit her tomb grief stricken. Presuming Juliet lifeless, he drinks a phial of poison. Juliet wakes to find Romeo dead. Devastated, she stabs herself.

Also available is the Royal Tenenbaums, the reunion of THE most disjointed family - most of them geniuses and A Brief History of the Fragile Male Ego, a digital adaptation of the riotous and very funny solo Fringe hit, that cuts to the bone of the current conversation around gender politics. Performed by a theatre company that wants to see a world in which “women take up space”

The Heart of Hawick will also be showing Belfast and Sing 2 along with Romeo and Juliet and the King’s Man which is set as a prequel to the Kingsman franchise, and is compelling, exceptional, and enjoyable, thanks to the sterling acting of Ralph Fiennes.

For the more outdoor minded Kelso Races will go ahead on Friday weather permitting.
