BEST FOOT FORWARD MODISH
ALL ABOARD!
This beloved family attraction will celebrate 60 years of creating special memories aboard the Audley End Miniature Railway. Lord Braybrooke first established the attraction in 1964 due to his passion for steam trains. He opened the miniature railway to the public to provide entertainment for visitors of Audley End House next door. The past 60 years have seen the Woodland develop a vibrant offering, from picnics under the trees and teddy bear sightings in the woods to adding seasonal wonder along with fairies and elves – enchanting children of all ages. @audleyendminiaturerailway audley-end-railway.co.uk AUDLEY END MINIATURE RAILWAY
Modish was launched almost 17 years ago, first in Saffron Walden, with the Cambridge shop on Green Street joining a few years later. Owner Sarah Decent prides herself on hunting down stylish shoes for happy feet. She’s helped in this quest by the fact that her feet are size 4 – aka sample size in the women’s shoe world – meaning Sarah can try on every pair she sees to check the fit is spot on! The range of styles is wide too, from major brands such as Geox, Skechers and Fly London, alongside many niche European lines hard to find in the national chains (some of which are exclusive to Sarah in the UK). So, if your toes complain when you slip on something gorgeous, or you’re fed up with run-of-the-mill high-street shoes, make Modish your first port of call. @modishloveshoes | modishonline.co.uk
