...BECAUSE SATURDAY'S THE DAY THE TEDDY BEARS HAVE THEIR PICNIC

Olney's Cowper and Newton Museum is hosting a Teddy Bear's Picnic event on Saturday (July 5). Writer Alison Molyneux will be at the stunning house turned historical centre, overlooking the Market Square, from 10.30am. She will be reading stories from her range of nine picture books, which will also be for sale. Why not pack up your own picnic - and teddy - and enjoy in the picturesque gardens? Alison will be around until 2pm, and admission is £2 per child.
