WELCOME to the June issue
of OUT&ABOUT
It’s a month of anniversaries. To mark the
bicentenary of the death of Jane Austen,
Kintbury is celebrating with a weekend of
events at the end of June. Resident, author
and Austen fan Gill Hornby talks about the
writer’s time in the village (p21).
Another Jane, Hungerford milliner Jane
Corbett, marks her 20-year milestone in
the industry by putting her hats online
(p17) and The Watermill theatre is 50 years
young (p41).
There’s plenty of food news, with some
recommended places to go for a picnic
(p37), a review of the Swan at Newtown
(p28), a taste of Japan (p33), and top
tipples (p31) offers some gift ideas for
Father’s Day.
If you want to get dad fit, how about a gift
that will get him on the move (p7) or we’ve
got some other suggestions from the high
street (p13).
We hope you’ll get
some inspiration
from these,
plus enjoy the
gardening, travel,
books and a
comprehensive list
of what’s on in the
area this month.
