After a few months of excitement, from Halloween through Bonfire Night to the wonderful craziness of Christmas, JANUARY is typically a much quieter month - a welcome relief perhaps!  But if you are looking for something to do here's some of the highlights...

If you didn't have time to get to the pantomime before Christmas you can still catch Aladdin at the Alban Arena until 7th January, Jack & The Beanstalk at the Gordon Craig Theatre until 28th January, and Beauty and the Beast will be at the Luton Library Theatre 13th - 21st January.  The Radlett Centre has a production of Red Riding Hood on 19th & 20th January.

The Harpenden and Wheathamsptead Disctrict Scouts will be taking to the stage to display their talents at the Public Halls from Tuesday 9th - Saturday 13th January in their 69th Gang Show.  There are still a few tickets remaining for this annual spectacular, but be quick!

On Saturday 20th January Brambleton Model Railway Club are holding their annual exhibition in the Public Halls - a must for all train fans big and little.

If you'd like to get outdoors Saturday 20th is also the first in a series of Welly Walks being held at Stockwood Discovery Centre.  Suitable for ages 3-7 these walks will explore a different part of the site each week and will include stories and activities. 

For some hands-on fun drop-in to the Natural History Museum at Tring with your under-5 on 11th and 25th January to make a Peanut Bird-feeder or for older children become an apprentice Archaeologist at Verulamium Museum on Saturday 27th January.
