Half term in Banbury is getting creative. The People's Theatre Collective has launched Tell Your Story Festival, a week of performances, workshops and free activities for young people.

There's stand-up comedy, slam poetry, puppetry, dance, drumming and an open-mic night, plus a town-centre procession on 31 October.

Most activities are free, with just the opening play ticketed. Exactly the sort of grassroots festival that gives young voices room to shine.
