Hello Readers,𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲.Spring has finally sprung and summer fayres and festival season will soon be upon us. So, I’m excited to let you all know that Beacons Festival returns in June and we have 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦 to give away. Turn to page 16 for more information about this years Summer Solstice festival and how you can enter the competition.

There’s still time to get tickets to this months Abingdon Air & Country Show - turn to page 15 - and congratulations to our five lucky competition winners from our April competition! I know you’ll enjoy a fabulous day out! Another fun-filled family day out returning on 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 is SydenhamFayre. The long-established event, co-ordinated and run entirely by villagers, raises funds for local groups and causes, supporting schools, community organisations and facilities in the surrounding area. Last year it raised over £9,000 for local causes. The Fayre centres around the picturesque village green from 12:30pm - 4:00pm and this year visitors can enjoy live entertainment, children’s games, a dog show, vintage cars, a BBQ, the tearoom and a huge variety of stalls selling quality gifts and goodies from local producers, plus there’ll be the ever-popular Bottle Tombola, Coconut Shy, Plate Smash, Plant Sale, Bric-A-Brac, Jewellery, Vintage Clothing and Tarot reader. Something else I wanted to draw attention to, after receiving a Press Release from Local home care company, Home Instead (Witney). They recently commissioned a survey of family carers and found 29% of them in Oxfordshire are at breaking point due to feeling highly stressed and isolated. It also concluded that a concerning 64% of them are neglecting their own health and well-being. As a company that supports older people in their own homes, Home Instead sees countless families in a desperate state as they seek to give their loved one the best life possible. If you are one of these people I urge you to reach out to them, or similar local organisations, to help you lighten the load. The full press release can be found on my website (here: https://shorturl.at/glvRX) along with contact information and tips that may help you and your loved ones. Until next month, enjoy reading...𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: https://look-localmagazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/MAY24_Issue138_28pg_WEB.pdf....#whatsgoingoninoxfordshire #looklocalmagazine #advertiselocal #supportsmallbusinessess #smallbusinesssupport #looklocal #smallbusinessesinoxfordshire #looklocalmagazineoxfordshire #localmagazineoxfordshire #oxfordshiremagazine #localmagazine #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalbusinesses #supportlocal ...

So far, we have discussed apex forest (temperate biome), desert plants (arid biome), and grassland biome.Read full article on Page 22 of the April Issue or click here: https://look-localmagazine.co.uk/look-locally-over-the-garden-gate-with-lucie-giselle-ponsford-9/ ...

Hello Readers, Welcome to the April 2024 Issue of Look Local Magazine. Spring has officially sprung, the daffodils are blooming in abundance and lighter evenings are here once again. I am really looking forward to getting out and about around the local area with the kids this Easter holidays. First up we plan to take a trip to Oxford on the bus to explore the Natural History Museum which is FREE to enter. Throughout the Easter holidays you can take part in an eggciting family trail. Eggsplore the Eggstraordinary Easter Family Trail around the museum to find all the hidden eggswhilst discovering fun natural history facts and themed specimens! The museum also hosts Science Saturdays where you have the opportunity to dive into the ocean world with themed crafts and ‘meet the scientists’ sessions. Waddesdon Manor’s annual Easter Adventure is on until 14th April and Waterperry Gardens are hosting a Hunt around the ornamental gardens. It costs £3.95 per child with a prize - check out their website for more info. There are lots of other cute little Easter trails taking place locally that I have seen pop up on Social Media - keep a eye out on our Facebook & Insta Pages as I will share any that I see. For any little train enthusiasts, Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railways, ‘Kids travel for a quid’ initiative is back! See more information about this and their other upcoming events on page 15. And for those who have work commitments during the Easter Holidays and are looking to book your little people into some enjoyable clubs, I came across a brand new one that’s coming to Thame and Haddenham called The Outdoors Project (www.theoutdoorsproject.co.uk/aylesbury-thame/). They provide 100% outdoor adventures for years 1 to 6, which run throughout the Easter and Summer holidays. There’s also two competitions to enjoy this month, our regular Thame Players Theatre competition is on page 19 and there also a chance to win tickets to this year Abingdon Air & Country Show on page 14. Until next month, enjoy readingLove EmmaRead online here: https://look-localmagazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/April-2024-LLM.pdf...#whatsgoingoninoxfordshire #looklocalmagazine #advertiselocal #supportsmallbusinessess #smallbusinesssupport #looklocal #smallbusinessesinoxfordshire #looklocalmagazineoxfordshire #localmagazineoxfordshire #oxfordshiremagazine #localmagazine #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalbusinesses #supportlocal ...
