LOCAL ATTRACT IONS
Great days out NOW WE’RE ALLOWED BACK INTO THE REAL WORLD AGAIN… HERE’S A ROUND-UP OF THE BEST LOCAL SPOTS TO REVEL IN SUMMER SIGHTS
Artisan Collective Fair Set against the beautiful backdrop of the National Trust’s Wimpole Estate, three-day outdoor shopping extravaganza the Artisan Collective Fair will be running from Friday 3 to Sunday 5 September. It offers the very best independent producers in food, drink, gifts and crafts, for a memorable, uplifting day out. Artisan producers, designers, creators and makers will be placed centre stage, with plenty of inspiring workshops and demonstrations available to book in advance – including the likes of crochet designer Lindsey Newns and ceramic artists Elly Wall and Zeita Scott. No one will go hungry, either, with a vast array of delicacies rustled up throughout the three-day celebration – featuring plenty of feel-good live tunes to capture the spirit of summer!

Whether coming for a few hours or spending the whole day, there’s plenty of fun to be had at Anglesey Abbey this summer. Head to Hoe Fen Wildlife Discovery Area for an adventure in nature – from den-building, birdwatching and bug-hunting to creating wild art and having fun on the natural-play balance beams. Intended to challenge the adventurous, see how long you can keep steady as you explore the various heights! Or, for budding detectives, how about solving ‘the case of the missing seeds’? Discover more about the animals that live on the estate – and see if you can crack the mystery. Follow the trail (£2 each) around the gardens and claim a reward upon reaching the end. When it’s time for lunch, there’s a choice of picnic spots across the garden, deckchairs to lounge in with a good book, or shady trees for relaxing under. Anglesey Abbey will be open daily throughout August – head to the National Trust website for further information. nationaltrust.org.uk ANGLESEY ABBEY
