Enjoy morning coffee and cake, lunch or afternoon tea in the Tea Shoppe itself – meet chef Matt and the rest of the Gastro Dining team, who will be on hand with tasting samples – and have a chat with textile artist Jane Lightfoot about the sewing workshops she’ll be running in the Function Room over the next few months.

shepherds hut interiorWhile you’re there, don’t miss the chance to take a peek inside the Shepherd’s Hut. This gorgeous little B&B is the only one of its kind in Nottinghamshire and is the perfect place to spend a relaxing night (or two!) away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life…

There’ll be some super special offers too, with discounts available on bookings made on the Open Day for meals on one of their Gastro Dining evenings (every Thursday, Friday and Saturday) or reservations for the Shepherd’s Hut.

Visit manorfarmteashoppe.co.uk for more details of everything Manor Farm has to offer and make a date to visit the pretty rural village of Bleasby, just outside Southwell, on 12 April to see it all for yourself…

county showFrom military music to mountain bike stunt displays, food and drink to ferret racing and dogs to 3D stone carving, the Nottinghamshire County Show has got the lot!

Despite the rather cold, wet weather, more than 47,000 visitors attended last year’s event and enjoyed a great family day out. Now tickets are on sale for the 2014 show, which runs from 9am to 6pm on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May at Newark Showground.

In the Food Experience marquee, retailers and producers will be selling a wide range of local and regional produce; and throughout the weekend there’ll be cookery demonstrations from local chefs, tastings and ideas for easy entertaining.

If you’re a dog lover, you’ll love all the competitions for working dogs and family pets alongside displays of Flyball and Agility. Or why not bring your own pet along and enter the Companion Dog Show on Saturday or Sunday’s Fun Show organised by the Radcliffe Animal Shelter?

Book in advance online or in person (from the main office at the Showground, the Newark Advertiser or Newark and Ollerton Tourist Information Centres and) pay just £12 for adult tickets (£16 on the gate). Accompanied under 17s are admitted free and there’s plenty of free and disabled car parking too.
