The British Wildlife Centre was founded by David Mills, in the heart of Surrey in 1997 and today this exceptional centre is home to a large variety of British wildlife. The centre is open every weekend and Bank Holiday. For other days, during term times, the Centre accommodate school visits from the region and feel it is very important that children have the opportunity to see and learn more about our own native wildlife, so that they may develop a life-long interest in its protection and survival into the future.

Congratulations to winners, Gill Gaffney (Fife) and Emma Louise Jaynes (Kent).

The Anderida Restaurant at Ashdown Park Hotel and County Club is locally renowned as one of the best restaurants in Forest Row. Recognised throughout the county and beyond as being an award-winning Sussex restaurant it simply must be sampled, so last week we travelled down to this beautifully set estate in the heart of Sussex, for an evening of fine dining.

The UK's ultimate grow your own event - The Edible Garden Show - is returning to its roots in 2016 along with its fantastic lifestyle event 'Good Life Live'.

At last week's Natural and Organic Show we met up with IQ Chocolate Founder Jane Shandley, who not only let us sample some of the great flavours the IQ range has to offer but told us a little about what makes this chocolate so super!
