🎃✨ 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.

This weekend was one for the books- the busiest we’ve ever had!

Alongside Salad Days, we also run STING Performing Arts, where we teach, rehearse, and perform with local children all year round. This weekend, we staged not one, but two full theatre shows South Mill Arts of
With over 250 children performing.

The first show featured 100children, followed by a lightning/ fast 30 minute turnaround to get the next 150 kids of stage for the second performance. It was hectic, emotional and completely magic.

We know first hand what it’s like to work with kids, how to organise a big moment, and how to keep the energy high (even with only snacks and coffee to keep us going)

We’re so proud of our students - they were all amazing. And to top it off, every single child took home a copy of Salad Days summer edition.

So if you’ve ever wondered how we mange to keep up with all the local events and family focused content in our magazine - it’s because WE LIVE IT, We’re in the wings, in the classrooms, in the community- and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

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!
