Half term is underway for children across Bucks.
Buckinghamshire's libraries, leisure centres and museums have a wide range of events and activities taking place across the week.
A number of Bucks libraries are hosting events. Why not join the brass players of Alina Orchestra for a special kid’s version of Band in a Van? Children can take part in some fun interactive games and afterwards the band will invite attendees to shake some percussion, conduct the group or sing along to some popular songs.
The event is free and there is no need to book in advance:
