If you are feeling a little down in the dumps after England's heartbreaking World Cup defeat, then there is a packed weekend of events in Burton and South Derbyshire designed to cheer you up.
Burton Regatta, Overseal Gala, Hatton Carnival and Willington Carnival, as well as an open day at Tatenhill's Midland Air Ambulance base will be some of the activities taking place on Saturday and Sunday that are sure to take your mind off the football.
But if you want to see England's play for third place against Belgium this takes place at 3pm on Saturday, July 14, so you'll have to arrange your day around this.
Burton Regatta kicks off from 8.30am on Saturday and again at the same time on Sunday.
There will be family entertainment alongside one of the much-anticipated local sporting events of the summer on the River Trent.
Each year the event attracts competitors from all over the country to compete for an array of silver trophies.
The Saturday sees a rowing course stretching 1,100 metres from the Leicester Line railway bridge to a point 100 metres upstream of the Ferry Bridge on the river.
Crews return the following day to compete over a 700-metre sprint course with the same finish line.
Both day's events will take place from around 8.30am until 4pm.
If you fancy something with a carnival feel to put the smile back on your face then Overseal Gala will launch its famous parade of floats starting at 1pm, in Burton Road, Overseal, on Saturday, July 14, which will head to the village's recreation ground in Woodville Road, for a day of family fun.
Entertainment is expected to include JTF Falcons; Stans Pals dog show and demonstration; face painting; Nottingham Boys and Girls' Brigade Marching Band; Gresley Colliery Band - both youth and adult, and Ashby Girls' Rugby Club demonstration and much more.
The carnival spirit will also stretch to Hatton and Willington, which both have events on. Hatton Carnival kicks off from noon on Saturday, July 14, with the parade beginning from behind the Co-operative store, in Station Road, in the village.
The main event will be held at Hatton Sports and Social Ground, in Scropton Road, with free parking offered by the old Trent Barton garage by Hatton Butchers, in Station Road.
On the rest of the field, there will be a fun-fair, inflatables, a Punch and Judy show, with balloon modelling, a craft tent, train rides, a fun dog show and refreshments tent as well as a gin/prosecco bar, a circus workshop and many different stalls.
Willington Carnival will also be held on Saturday, July 14, from noon to 5pm.
The procession starts from the village hall, in Twyford Road, at 11.30am and arrives at Twyford Road Playing Field, Twyford Road, Willington, at noon.
The event is free for all the family, with lots of games and competitions, including the mini-Olympics event, tug of war, circus skills and the popular chicken run.
There will also be lots of craft stalls, live music, beer tent, food stalls, bouncy castles, raffle and more.
Finally, Tatenhill Airfield will open its hangar doors for the first time to host an open day on Sunday, July 15.
The event, which is free to enter, will provide a rare opportunity for the public to have a guided tour of the Midland Air Ambulance helicopter, talk to the aircrew, observe demonstrations of life saving treatment and get behind the scenes of the lifesaving service.
There will be activities to suit all ages, including the helicopter bouncy castle, helicopter simulator rides, trade stalls, refreshments, and raffle. Representatives from other emergency services including fire, ambulance, police and blood bikes will also be attending.

And finally, if you still haven't had your fill of sport then the tennis from Wimbledon rounds up this weekend.
This year’s finals will finish with the women battling it out on Saturday, July 14, and the men on Sunday, July 15, with both starting at 2pm.
The Wimbledon men’s singles final is likely to overlap with the start of the World Cup final on Sunday.

However, at around 2.55pm coverage will switch over to BBC Two for the remainder of the match.
