At the end of the match or gig, follow the other fans up to the popular nightlife area of Caxton Street, where you can relive event highlights and dance the night away to live music.

Enjoy a sunny morning at the Milton Markets on Cribb Street. Sample the offerings at the food stalls or shop for handicrafts made by local artisans.
