Good Afternoon Bucks,

It’s the start of February, which means January has finally released its grip and we’re all pretending the year is now properly underway. The evenings are still chilly, the days are getting longer (apparently), and everyone’s calendars are suddenly filling up again. Consider this your friendly nudge to swap the sofa for something a bit more exciting.

Lots going on around the county this week, including:

  • 🎭 Christmas Carol Goes Wrong — Tuesday to Saturday, Aylesbury Waterside Theatre
  • 🧠 90s Quiz Night — Friday, Discover Bucks Museum
  • 🎸 Ben Jovi @ Mad Squirrel — Saturday, Mad Squirrel, Amersham
  • 😂 Comedy Night @ The Grand Junction — Friday, Buckingham
