Aylesbury
Friars Square Shopping Centre
When: Sunday 13 July

Makendoo
Makendoo painting and making workshops are a fabulous activity for children (and adults). Everyone can join in the fun, painting and making a huge range of masks, hats, puppet characters or small banners, all finished off with plenty of glitter to provide an instant carnival atmosphere whatever the occasion. Children leave the workshop carrying, wearing and waving their artworks, which are lasting souvenirs of a great day out.
Carlos Airhead
The metamorphosis of a man and a six-foot balloon. Carlos Airhead, with a volunteer, disappears inside a balloon for a fantastic comedy dance routine before a truly surprising and explosive finish. A show full of laughs and fun for all the family.

Dread Falls Theatre Presents Tanglewood Tales
When: Saturday 19 July
Time: 11am to 12pm
Where: Aylesbury Library
Faustus the faun is Tanglewood's most famous author. At least that's what he wants you to think. In reality he's having trouble writing his book, and with the deadline looming, his writer's block is only getting worse. Luckily, the forest is full of inspiration. Maybe Faustus will get that book written after all!

When: Saturday 19 July
Time: 2pm to 3pm
Where: Aylesbury Library
Get ready for a whirlwind of wonder with the flamboyant Professor Octavia; explorer extraordinaire! She has travelled the world in search of magical and mythical creatures. As she reels off tale after incredible tale of wrestling sea serpents, finding fairies, and jaunting with jackalopes, you might think she's pulling your leg. But just wait until the grand finale when you meet the rarest creature in her collection; a fire-breathing marvel, proving once and for all that truth is stranger than fiction.
The BRICK People present… an event Featuring LEGO® Bricks!
