Are you more Indiana Jones or Time Team? Would you prefer to be a Tudor or a monk? Raid the dressing-up rail on Tuesday and find out in the fantastic remains of Kirkstall Abbey, near Leeds, which is hosting part of the Festival of British Archaeology, which runs until August 1.

And if you enjoy Time Team, then you’ll want to hear from the archaeology programme’s Raksha Dave as she reveals what really happens on and off camera at Leeds City Museum next Thursday evening. Her talk is also part of the Festival of British Archaeology. You’ll need to book – call (0113) 2243732.

If you want to be part of a tai chi world record attempt, go along to the old clay tennis court near the bandstand in Roberts Park, Saltaire, tomorrow, between 10.30am and noon, when an attempt will be made to run the largest class in the world. It’s part of a number of events taking place across the country, and you don’t need any tai chi knowledge. There’s a minimum £1 donation to Breakthrough breast cancer charity.

If you own a Nintendo DS, then you can help the National Media Museum break the world record for the most DS gamers playing simultaneously. Take along your charged-up DS console to the museum next Wednesday, from 3pm to 8pm. Registration closes at 6pm. There will also be a Street Fighter battle and competitions.

You can celebrate Yorkshire Day and support the Yorkshire Air Ambulance on August 1 at Haighy’s on Lumb Lane, Bradford. There will be fun and games for children, and 50 years of seven-inch vinyl to sort through.

Dog owners can help raise £1,000 for the Dogs Trust at a Novelty Dog Show tomorrow, from noon, at the Causeway Foot Inn, Ogden. There are rosettes on offer, plus a trophy for best in show. Classes are just £1 to enter and all dogs are welcome, whether they are a mongrel or a ‘posh’ dog. There are also plenty of fun classes, including best six legs and fancy dress.
