Following two sell-out shows in London and Manchester and two major industry awards, the Cake & Bake Show has established itself as the UK's favourite baking exhibition and is set to return to London from the 13th - 15th September 2013, for another exciting weekend dedicated to the world of cakes, breads and the art of baking.
With the sudden rise in temperature and the late summer sun welcoming more of us out into the parks you could be forgiven for leaving your brolly behind and relaxing for an afternoon's picnic. But summer showers are always just around the corner, so to avoid a sprinkling amidst the heat of the afternoon Thistle Hotels have come up with an ingenious addition to their fabulous picnic hampers - an 'umbrella hat' to ensure that you are the envy of all other picnic goers when the unpredictable British summer weather strikes.
After enjoying record levels of entries all season, the organisers of the All England Jumping Championships at Hickstead are pleased to report a massive 50% rise in competitor numbers for this weekend's show (5th-8th September 2013). Rider numbers are up from around 800 in 2012 to more than 1,200 this year. Most classes exceed 100 entries - and one class has more than 260 entries - meaning the show directors have had to make the decision to open an extra ring for the show to cater for everyone

The official cobnut season is well underway, with 'nutters' (as the pickers are commonly known) selecting only the best cobnuts down at Potash Farm - to make into their scrummy Cobnut Fudge. High quality Belgian chocolate is combined with toasted cobnuts to produce a buttery, melt in the mouth fudge. This deliciously more-ish treat is sure to get you into the festive spirit.
After a lovely, yet wet, weekend visit to CarFest South at the end of August we are certainly looking forward to the news that we are about to enter an Indian Summer as autumn starts. And if the glorious sunshine streaming through our office windows is anything to go by, we will be needing more BBQ food and equipment before Summer 2014. So it was exciting to meet so many great business owners and food producers at CarFest.
