Let me try to translate it.
This weekend, i grabbled my mom in Warwick.
On Sunday,we watched Nizlopi on the "Warwick town square"(like on tv).
Just kidding, try to write its original English one, because i really can not realize the meaning...

"Bu hafta sonu annemi Warwick'de ziyaret ettim."
"This weekend I have visithed my mother in Warwick."
I guess you were inspired by this page for using yoklamak. It's not a good translation for "visit".

Here are my translations:
yoklamak > to have a quick look
to visit > ziyaret etmek

dinlemek???
In English that would imply that we went there are listened to a band through a sound system rather than actually seeing the musicians perform live. Does Turkish use "listen" rather than "watch" to refer to live music?
Also - why pazar günü?

Days, months, colours are always used like that.
Pazar günü
Aralık aynı
Kahve rengi
etc
Why I don't know...you should ask Erdinc

Yes, I would prefer "dinlemek" even though when it is live. "izlemek" or "seyretmek" or anything smillar implies a play/threatre I think.
"pazar günü" = "on Sunday"
pazar, pazartesi etc. are the names of the week. They are not referring to an actuall day of this week or previous.
Btw, we write them without capital letters.

are the punctuation rules different from İngilizce to Türkçe ?

No, they are the same. Names of days and months are not considered to be proper names so we write them with lowercase. This is of course different than English because they are considered to be proper names in English.

Are named places also considered part of the proper noun in Turkish and therefore capitalised?
For example:
"I am going to Manchester Airport tomorrow"
In English we capitalise "Airport" as well as "Manchester"
In Turkish is the same thing done or not?
"Yarın Manchester Havaalanı'ya gideceğim"

Yes, we do the same.
Noun modifications take the n buffer.
"Manchester Havaalanı'na "

You mean that if we wanted to say "to Ankara's Hospital" for example, we would say Ankara Hastanesi'ne instead of Hastanesi'ye?
Is this a general rule?

"Ankara Hastanesi'ne" is correct.
"Ankara Hospital" = "Ankara Hastanesi"
But not, "Ankara's Hospital" = "Ankara Hastanesi"
