The Winter Issue is Here! ❄️✨
We’ve been out and about over the past few days delivering the brand-new winter issue of Salad Days to all our wonderful local primary schools — and we even managed to grab a cosy photo in the lovely reception area at Katherine Semar Primary School today! 📚💛

This issue is packed with heartwarming stories, seasonal fun, and plenty of inspiration to brighten these chilly months. We’re incredibly proud of how it’s turned out — and even more thankful for the fantastic local advertisers who help make Salad Days possible. Your support keeps our community magazine thriving, and we’re so grateful for every single one of you. 🌟

We’re a bit tired after all the deliveries… and there’s still more to do, but seeing the magazines in the hands of our schools makes it all worth it. Here’s to a wonderful winter of reading! ❄️📖✨

🎃✨ What an absolutely magical evening we had at the pumpkin patch last night! There was so much to see and do — it truly was an unforgettable experience for both the kids and us grown-ups. 🌟
We can totally see why it’s been voted the best British pumpkin patch — it was beyond amazing! 👏 have been advertising in Salad Days for quite some time and it’s been wonderful to see how they continue to make the experience even more special every year. 🎃💛 it’s always been our fav event of the year! Honestly that was UNREAL 🧡 PumpkinPatchMagic

✨ A little reminder of what else we do… ✨�Backstage at our other business — STING Performing Arts 🎭💥and a flash back of where it all began aged just 16 in our first show together!

We grew our other business from 25 students into a vibrant performing arts company with over 300 young people. We deliver training in acting, dance, singing and LAMDA — plus run an inclusive theatre company for adults with learning disabilities and physical or sensory impairments. 💛

Today we watched the trailer for “Young Washington”, starring one of our ex-students — who we helped land his first big role in Matilda in the West End when he was just 9 years old. To say we’re proud is an understatement. 🌟

Whether it’s theatre or stories on the page, everything we do is rooted in community — and celebrating the journeys of brilliant local people.
Big love from both sides of the stage.

Salad Days’ Story

Magazine for parents and carers of children who are in the age range 0-18 years. The name comes from Shakespeare and means the best days of youth - so it’s nothing to do with lettuce and tomatoes! It all started when I couldn’t find the local Brownie group - there was nowhere I could find that sort of information out from, except by word of mouth. So Salad Days - because they’re only young once - was conceived!
