By seeing things from a fan’s point of view first, they hope to create something a little different at Cambridge Junction on 24 and 25 August. Stars from the small screen and the silver screen will be on-hand for panel discussions, photo ops and autographs, plus there will be traders and entertainment, in a fun, family-friendly setting.

This month at Saffron Hall there’s a musical treat performed by teenagers from across the country, and something for younger children. The National Youth Girls’ Choir of Great Britain performs on 24 August, showcasing the breadth of music written for women’s voices. Featuring songs spanning the centuries and encompassing a variety of different cultures, the performance is one not to miss. On 16 August, join Peppa Pig and pals for Peppa Pig: My First Concert , which brings all the usual, colourful fun in an interactive show. Peppa and George learn about the sounds that instruments make together, with some of the music played by an orchestra. It’s suitable for ages 18 months and up. saffronhall.com AUGUST AT SAFFRON HALL
