ESA’s Jules Verne ATV is scheduled to make it’s first full docking attempt with the ISS tomorrow. The ATV which arrived in the vicinity of the International Space Station on the 29th of March after a successful launch has already carried out several approach and collision avoidance demonstrations.
The 20 tonne ATV is carrying 9 tonnes of cargo and supplies for the cosmonauts and astronauts aboard the ISS. I believe the docking is scheduled for 16:41 CEST / 15:41 BST / 1441 ZULU April 3
NASA TV will have coverage (available online) and ESA will presumably be providing a webcast (hopefully in the same high-quality as the launch coverage).
