Don't forget to keep an eye on your local libraries, children's centres and museums this New Year! Some have trails, activities, and some just the delights of the places themselves. Lovely for a stop in during the post Christmas chill.

This gem got missed off our socials a time ago, a really funny, very cute and cool puppetry play at our local library, Chesham Library! The wonderful Dread Falls Theatre presented Professor Octavia’s Magical Menagerie, which the kids loved and fabulously was free.

Their firm favourite creature were the dragons, though they couldn't decide which one. There were many giggles had 😁🥰. We will be keeping an eye out on our local library site, hopefully more fun to come in 2026.
