The close-up show, Stag Plaza, Sevenoaks An intimate evening of close-up magic, trickery and sleight of hand. Close-up magic is one of the most popular and impressive forms of the art and this event showcases some of the best exponents. A strictly limited audience will meet three magicians and experience the magic in an intimate setting right before their very eyes, often taking part themselves. Tickets £16.50. Booking essential.


January 10 – 16 Winter warmer hike, Scotney Castle The Scotney Castle estate is a fascinating place to visit in the winter – it is quiet, peaceful, but still with a lot to see. Join the walk to different parts of the estate, spotting flocks of over-wintering birds, mammal tracks and historic landscape features. At the halfway point, rest by a bonfire in the woods with the best views the estate has to offer. Winter is also the ideal time to learn how to identify trees, be taught how to distinguish oak, beech, lime and more, just by their buds. Free event (normal admission charges apply). 1pm-2pm.


January 15


The fascination of bird migration Grove Green Community Hall, Maidstone An RSPB talk on one of the great mysteries of the natural world. John Buckingham is one of Kent’s most popular wildlife speakers and few are better at imparting a wealth of knowledge in an entertaining and stimulating way.
