Feasting and festivities will be the order of the day as Love Food Festival presents a very special Christmas event at the unique and magical 'Spiegeltent' on Sunday 9th December 2012. This 1920's style 'big top' tent will transport you back to a by-gone era of traditional Christmas cheer, with original stained glass windows, flooring and mirrors all playing home to a bustling Love Food market, seasonal demonstration theatre, some delicious hot food, a cafe and festive inspired children’s activities.

The reunited original line up of mighty British Heavy Metal band Wolfsbane, who reformed in 2011 to record their first studio album for 17 years, 'Wolfsbane Save The World', released in January 2012 to huge acclaim, have added two more dates to their previously announced October UK tour . A very special, limited edition CD, 'The Lost Tapes (A Secret History)', the only live studio recording of Wolfsbane ever made, will be exclusively available on the tour.

According to the Office of National Statistics 64% of ladies in Tandridge are economically inactive! Recent articles in The Telegragh and The Mail highlighted this figure and took a closer look at Tandridge housewives. The Old Dairy Studio has seen the funny side to this news and have created a range of tongue-in-cheek mugs to celebrate the newly found fame of Tandridge ladies.

When the election loomed, and budget cuts put her job as a civil servant at risk, Jo Gibson decided to give herself a fall-back option and started up a pottery painting business in Oxted, Surrey. It opened its doors for the first time in April 2010 and has gradually gained a reputation for being a friendly, relaxing studio where children have fun and adults let the creativity (often unrealised) flow.
