Good Afternoon Bucks
The week is doing that classic British thing of switching between sunshine and โbetter take a jacket just in caseโ. People are emerging from hibernation with ambitious plans and slightly unreliable enthusiasm. Fortunately, the county is fully stocked with things worth leaving the house for.
Thereโs a lovely mix of music, theatre and big laughs lined up.
Lots going on around the county this week, including:
-
Story Time Adventure at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on Tuesday
-
The Gary Fletcher Band at The Stables, Milton Keynes on Wednesday
-
Soul Sessions at The Mad Squirrel, Amersham on Thursday
-
Lily James at The Stables, Milton Keynes on Saturday
-
Russell Howard - Don't Tell The Algorithm at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on Sunday
