Fashion, food and fun!

When The Village magazine, together with Neil and Nicci Gow of Burcot Garden Centre, decided to put together a charity fashion evening in aid of the County Air Ambulance, none of us realised just how successful it would be – a success that’s down to the sheer number of local people who wanted to support us.

Village Weddings

After hitting an all-time high of £20,000 a few years ago, the average cost of a wedding has dropped significantly in the wake of the financial crisis, with many couples looking for ways to lower the cost without compromising on their dream day.

175 years of service

We look back at the long and successful history of men’s fashion retailer Heaphys.

Natural beauty

If you’re keen to be in top condition for a special occasion or just fancy a bit of pampering, you’ll be spoilt for choice at Vis a Vis in Cotteridge – the salon offers a vast array of treatments to help you stay younger-looking, feel more toned and altogether feel great.

Queens of the catwalk

The annual fashion show organised by Bromsgrove District Council for International Women’s Day was another big success.

Just for men

A brand new boutique brings designer menswear to the heart of Barnt Green, writes Sally Oldaker.

Dream wedding

It may be winter, but Continental Collextion can help you look forward to spring – particularly if you’ve got a wedding to attend.

Wedding world

The Village‘s second Wedding Show held at Lickey’s Hillscourt Conference Centre was another big success, with scores of would-be brides and grooms taking the opportunity to browse a wide selection of wedding products and services from the local area.
