Good Afternoon Bucks
Itβs that strange in-between stretch where the school term is winding down, summer holidays are starting to
feel very real, and everyone is quietly trying to work out how many sunny weekends are actually left in the
diary. The pace is picking up, the evenings feel lighter, and thereβs a growing sense that plans are best made
quickly before the calendar disappears entirely. Bucks is firmly in its βone more thing before summerβ era.
Before the big holiday slowdown kicks in, thereβs plenty happening across the county, including:
- πͺ Festival Week at Princes Risborough on All week
- π Story Time Adventure at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on Tuesday
- π· Blind Wine Tasting at The Wine Place, Amersham on Wednesday
- πΆ Jools Holland And His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra at Wycombe Swan on Friday
- π Country By Candlelight at Wycombe Swan on Saturday
