Music from the movies and a traditional classical repertoire featuring singers from the West End will entertain crowds at this year's Maidenhead Carnival. International singers John Langley and Jayne O'Mahony will be headlining the carnival concert under the direction of Cookham born pianist and producer Toby Cruse. The annual carnival is one of the biggest events in the town's calendar and will be coinciding with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee
Peter Rabbit knows very well that he shouldn't venture into mean old Mr McGregor's garden. After all, it was there his father met an untimely end and wound up as the main ingredient of a pie. But the mischevious bunny cannot resist and sneaks into the garden, only to lose his clothes and shoes when he is chased by the miserable gardener.
An artist in Maidenhead is hoping to raise awareness of mental health issues by photographing sufferers of depression and bipolar disorder. Jo Dagless is appealing for people to be part of her new project, Manifold, which will chart the effects of depression through a series of portraits. "Depression is a condition that affects a huge amount of people at some point in their lives yet there is still a lot of stigma attached to it," she said.
