Five top things to do this weekend

10:20am Friday 1st February 2013 in Freetime By Rebecca Cain

1. DISCOVER Dahl's archives this Saturday at The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in 81-83 High Street, Great Missenden. Take a behind-the-scenes look at their archive store which houses Roald Dahl’s manuscripts and letters, with collections manager and archivist, Rachel White. There are three sessions at 12.30, 1.30 and 2.30pm. It is free for museum visitors. Call 01494 892192 to book.

2. NOW it is starting to warm up why not take the time to discover more of the Chilterns. There are plenty of beautiful walks in the area and the Chiltern Society has produced a range of seasonal walks to follow in 2013. The first is a winter walk at Tring. Subsequent walks to be published in 2013 include walks at Prestwood Nature Reserve and Marlow Common. The charity has produced the walk directions and mapping, and has then tested these walks. If you would like any further information please contact the Chiltern Society office on 01494 771250 or go to www.chilternsociety.org.uk

3. SING-A-LONG to your favourite Grease songs this Saturday from 7.30pm. The production, Sing-A-Long-A-Grease at the Wycombe Swan is a fully interactive screening of the classic film with on-screen subtitles. The host will lead a vocal warm-up, judge a fancy dress competition and show you how to use your free goody bag. Tickets are £15 from 01494 512000 or go to www.wycombeswan.co.uk.

4. LISTEN to a tale at a storytelling day this Saturday at the Wycombe Museum in Priory Avenue, High Wycombe. Master storyteller Peter Hearn weaves his unique blend of stories with music, poetry and song. He will be accompanied by storyteller, Sarah Law. There are sessions throughout the day celebrating National Storytelling Week. It runs from 11am to 4.30pm. Free to join in. Call 01494 421895 for details.

5. SEE if you can grab a bargain at a big jumble sale from 10am at Stokenchurch Dog Rescue, Oxford Road (near BT tower). There is a sale of new and nearly new clothes, household goods, bric a brac, toys, DVDs, CDs - and some unwanted Christmas presents. All in aid of welfare to find new homes for forlorn, friendly dogs in their care. Also the charity's on site shop will be open selling some of the best donated goods. For more details call 01844 344601 or email the_bevs@btinternet.co.uk.
