 | Since the popular fortnightly Jazz Nights sessions relocated to The Cherry Tree in Belchamp St Paul, (between Haverhill and Sudbury), the guest-list just seems to get better than ever. This Sunday it's the rather special Julian Siegel - one of Britain's top saxophonists. Julian recently received the BBC Jazz Award for Best Instrumentalist, and also won last year's London Festival Fringe 'London Jazz Award'. As with all visiting guests, he will be accompanied by an adept trio led by drummer Roger O'Dell.

 | With more than eight million items on its shelves, Cambridge University Library is one of the largest accumulations of books in the world. Its holdings consist of a great variety of different collections which, over the centuries, have come to be housed under the same roof. Some of the most remarkable of these are the collections gathered by ardent individual book-lovers. This exhibition presents ten such collectors, whose lives span the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Not to be missed by biblliophiles.

 | A remarkable social history as much as it is a beautiful creation, 39 of the 77 panels in the fabulous Quaker Tapestry are now on display in Ely Cathedral. The tapestry depicts periods of social reform, industrial revolution and key historical moments, in a hand embroidered style similar to the ancient Bayeux Tapestry. More than 4,000 people in 15 countries have had a hand in its production and, such is the impact of the tapestry, it has toured hundreds of venues in America and Europe, attracting thousands and thousands of visitors in the process.

 | The Junior Club meets every Saturday morning from the first Saturday in September through to the last Saturday in April. From tots to late teens, it caters for all. Once children have successfully completed the Junior Ski Lessons and the Assessment, they´ll go into a small group (no more than 10) with others of a similar ability. The emphasis is very much on fun -and safety. Some of the session time is always allocated to free-ski so members can do their own thing.

 | When Mr Green returns home to find Mr White in his house, it's the start of a series of brrrilliant, snowy adventures as Mr White attempts to create a winter mess, much to Mr Green's dismay. Lyngo Theatre's interactive show 'Snow Play' had a sell-out run at Lyric Hammersmith in December (and was well received at the Edinburgh Festival last year).
