A year of LIGHT & COLOUR

The Heights of Abraham, Derbyshire’s oldest visitor attraction, celebrates two milestone anniversaries in 2024. year of celebration is now underway as Derbyshire’s oldest visitor attraction, The Heights of Abraham, marks two ‘milestone’ anniversaries in the same year of its 237year history.

This May it celebrates the ‘Golden Anniversary’, 50 years since the Pugh family arrived at the run-down, hilltop estate, and started to restore and completely transform it to become the thriving and unique visitor attraction that it is today.

In April it will be 40 years since the launch of the alpine-style cable cars, marking their ‘Ruby Anniversary’. The

part of the visitor experience, making the short, steep ascent to the summit of Masson Hill, where a different world

caverns awaits, which has been enchanting visitors to the Peak District since 1787.

Nowadays the family-friendly attraction welcomes visitors to enjoy the two illuminated show caverns, breath-taking views from the estate’s vantage points, living history exhibitions, woodland trails and adventure playgrounds. It’s an educational and inspiring day out which encourages visitors of all ages to appreciate the area’s natural beauty from a

A

different perspective, from the mountainlike Peaks to the depths of the mineral-rich show caverns, a fascinating insight into the area’s geology and social history.

The estate’s evolution is a constant journey, and this year the Great Masson cavern boasts an enhanced illumination experience, bringing an array of rainbow colour to its dramatic interiors, whereas the Rutland cavern has a characterful tour guide in full period costume, bringing to life tales from the Victorian era of tourism in the area to amuse guests. Recently added in 2022, is a willow sculpture trail, featuring heritage-inspired aspects such as miners and local wildlife, with installations by the sculptor, Caroline Gregson.

A popular spot is the ‘Vista’ restaurant with its balcony area, perched almost 1,000 feet/554 metres above sea level. Its

vantage point offers diners a meal with a view, and the unique venue can also be hired for private events, such as birthdays and anniversaries.

The Terrace café specialises in locally made cakes and hot beverages, and The Tavern holds the oldest beer license in the Matlocks’, homage to the 18th century when hard-working lead miners socialised there after their shift.

Visitors browse the gift and ‘Rock shop’, selling souvenirs and speciality items such as gemstones, fossils, and jewellery, some pieces featuring the local ‘Blue John’.

Several multi-media exhibitions explore the social and cultural history, geology and reveal the white-knuckle inducing installation project of the cable cars.

There are adventure playgrounds, woodland walks and pathways to enjoy, along with several garden vistas, mindfully created to complement the views and natural wildlife of the Derbyshire Peaks.

This year’s event, which takes place on Monday 28 October, will be the fourth time we have held the event here and if the previous years are anything to go by, 2024’s ceremony is going to be another fantastic affair.

When it came to the 2023 Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards, competition was keen of course, and we were delighted at how many local restaurants, bars and cafes entered into the festivities. It was fantastic to see all of the nominees together in one room, celebrating the superb quality of independent eateries found in our region and beyond.

MEET THE CHEF

Meet the CHEF A selection of local cooks share their kitchen secrets,

Adrian Gagea - Longbow Restaurants

Originally from Romania, Adrian joined Longbow four years ago and oversees all three of their sites - The Maynard, Grindleford; The George, Hathersage; and The Ashford Arms, Ashford in the Water.

In his youth, Adrian played volleyball at the highest level but realised "! " " " " ! " ! " cooking and started studying how to become a professional chef. He started his cooking journey in his native country then worked in London for Raymond Blanc for two years as a chef de partie, before moving up to sous chef. He then went back to Romania for a head chef position, before returning to England in September 2018.

“My inspiration came from my grandmother, great-grandmother and of course my mother,” said Adrian. “All of these lovely ladies cooked for my "! ! ! " " using simple ingredients, great techniques and delivered delicious food all the time.”

He advises any would-be chefs to ‘keep your head down and work hard.

Listen and absorb as much knowledge as you can by asking questions.

Choose to be part of a healthy, growing team’.

Chris Parker - The Ashford Arms

Chris joined Longbow Restaurants, the team behind The Ashford Arms, 18 months ago, starting out as sous chef at The George in Hathersage.

From March he will be taking on the role of head chef at Longbow’s newest venue.

“We work using French techniques and create English gastro food with European fusions,” he said of the menu. A typical day for Chris revolves around teamwork and making sure everyone is ready to deliver top quality and inspiring dishes.

“I enjoy bringing pleasure to our diners and making sure they enjoy an experience with us that we can all be proud of,” said Chris. “My signature dish is pan-roasted lamb cannon with pea purée, mini fondant potatoes, seasonal vegetables and mint jus.”

Chris advises other chefs to ‘follow your passion, every day is a learning day’.

Erkland Xhaja - Cubana

Born in Albania, Erkland Xhaja moved to Italy as a child before settling ! " ! ! " "!

Cubana family for over 22 years, tells us “it’s “all about the prep”.

After a decade of second in command to former head chef, Chilean Fabian Cruz, Erkland was the natural choice to take the helm, a responsibility he has embraced for just over seven years.

“We have a substantial and varied menu and are lucky enough to have a high turnover of customers,” said Erkland. “This means arriving early and getting on top of things.” "! ! ! ! ! and skill to prepare, which is why he takes such great pride in his reliable kitchen team.

Anything is POSSIBLE

! !

‘ I

mpossible’ is not a word in Sharron Lowe’s vocabulary.

The success coach, speaker, and author has spent her entire career proving the opposite and has inspired thousands of people all over the world to be the best they can be and focus on the positive.

Working predominantly in the retail beauty industry, Sharron has partnered with the world’s leading cosmetic and perfumery brands helping them to grow their brands by growing their biggest resource, people.

Her client list is impressive: Chanel, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancôme, Christian Dior and L’Oreal amongst many others.

She has coached thousands of people in over 50 countries, for some of these brands, and also partners with charities, business and entrepreneurs networks.

Sharron, grew up in Crosspool and attended High Storrs School. She’s been asked to do a presentation to the school’s sixth form this year saying she’s thrilled

and cannot wait. Leaving school at 16, she says that she didn’t have an exact plan but always had a feeling that if she followed her passion an exciting career and life would follow. She got a taste for business from a young age; alongside her sister Anne, she grew up in a family business where her parents had a manufacturing silversmith business and were considered entrepreneurial long before you called people that, certainly by Sharron who was enthralled by her Dad’s amazing passion and Mum’s talent of making it all work around the family unit.

“When we’re young we pull energy from the people we’re around,” she says. “When mum and dad went into the warehouse on weekends we used to go with them and I loved the buzz of the workplace. I had a feeling I was destined to go into business.”

But Sharron had another love and that was beauty and so she went to Granville College to study her favourite subjects.

INTERVIEW It was the business lessons that really captured her imagination, though, and she quickly made up her mind that she didn’t want to go down the therapist route so opted for retail, accepting a job at Debenhams on The Moor.

Sharron worked for the Fabergé as a beauty consultant – makers of Brut – and quickly excelled, impressing not just her #"!! ! # "! " London.

“I put every ounce of my passion into that role,” she recalls. “I found sales opportunities that other people didn’t. I was open to doing it ‘differently with outside talks to drive in sales and my account became number two for sales in the UK.” Sharron’s results created opportunity and she was encouraged to share her success, which led to her becoming the youngest ever area manager for Fabergé. A few years later she was headhunted to join Nina Ricci as UK director for training. From there, followed a role as training director at the platinum guild & De Beers Diamonds, a time when she found herself bodily insured to wear £1million of jewellery when presenting on stage and with her own personal bodyguard.

Barely in her thirties, Sharron decided to set up her own coaching and speaking consultancy with a focus on the beauty industry. The aim was to help her clients grow their brands by growing their people, which she did to great success. She has worked with the Estee Lauder group, Chanel, Parfums Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton over 25 years.

“The UK press named me ‘the success coach and speaker who adds millions to businesses’, that was my tagline,” beams Sharron, who is so grateful for that press. ! # !" " " that you’ve impacted thousands and thousands of peoples’ performance, it is the greatest gift in my life.”

Through her work, Sharron became UK ambassador for the Cosmetics and Perfumery Retail Association (COPRA), the highlight of which is a yearly event at The Savoy in London where she addresses 700 of the UK’s top retailers, including Harrods, Harvey Nichols, retailers, and beauty directors.

As well as speaking at the prestigious event, Sharron also gifts the winners of the ‘Beauty Consultant of the Year’ awards a ‘Mind Makeover’ book masterclass, which leads us nicely into her book.

The Mind Makeover, The Answers to the Best YOU Yet! is a self-growth book to show you to take control of your life by taking control of the greatest thing you own, your mind, and get the success

36 www.sheffieldvibe.com

you deserve. It does this with easy-tofollow strategies and chapters deal with motivation, myths, the power of the mind, laws of attraction, imagination, and your inner voice. " ! " ! ! ! " " " "# home, garden, relationships, career… but what about showing us how to makeover our minds,” says Sharron. “The book shows you how to move from where you are now to where you want to be, it gives you a toolkit.”

The overriding feeling of the book is that of living in the moment, in the now, focusing on the positive – if you can do this, then everything else will fall into place.

Writing the book seemed like a natural progression for Sharron who is keen to share her experiences and is passionate about helping people to grow. Her overriding motivation through the 18-month process was a desire to launch her book in the

Mail on Sunday’s YOU magazine, with a readership of over three million.

“I had a burning vision, although I was the only person in the UK who had that vision,” she laughs. “I sat in a boardroom with 17 people from the publishers, Piatkus, and was basically told it was impossible and why.

“So I created a positive mindset by ! " " " covers of YOU magazine with a picture of my book’s front cover on top and then found an opportunity to be at a function where the editor-in-chief was. I had so # ! " " a conversation, got the ball rolling and eventually had an exclusive YOU magazine four-page book launch followed by HELLO and many other top publications.”

Sue Peart, editor-in-chief of YOU magazine, also wrote a testimonial for the book, saying: “Sharron is the most dynamic and inspiring person you could ever meet.

For Sharron, anything is possible; and this book will empower you to achieve anything.”

The Mind Makeover dominates a lot of Sharron’s current talks and presentations with UK and global empowerment conferences and women entrepreneur conferences and events.

over a year ago, it was for BAWE (British Women Entrepreneurs) that she was asked to be keynote speaker at an event at Chatsworth House in July, which raised money for the then Master Cutler – Dame Julie Kenny’s – Challenge.

“I believe, none of us achieve alone and we all need what I call my wisdom circle, great friends, businesswomen and entrepreneurs. Together we can share ideas, inspire, empower, motivate, and grow together, adds Sharron. “When you’re an entrepreneur and you start your business you can feel isolated like you’re at the new

school gates and don’t know anybody.

Sharron cites a particular group as being a great example of how to network

need it.

“Mums and dads of school age children, network really well and form communities and support groups,” she says. “We need to do the same, to have people around us who can listen, guide us, nurture, learn from, share, support, laugh, enjoy – there’s no point doing it if it’s not fun and we’re not sharing.”

I chatted with Sharron over coffee and having spent well over an hour in her charming company, found her warm, engaging, and full of energy. She’s hugely passionate about what she does and what she coaches, and the proof is in the scores of endorsements she receives from across the world.

any regrets. This encourages some long deliberation, after which she says: “No, in short. I think there’s things I did that didn’t work but they got me to what did work.

I’ve always lived out of my comfort zone, I don’t believe in failure, I believe we either learn not to do it that way again or we succeed.”

With such a positive outlook, it’s no surprise that she believes that anything is possible. She certainly has the tools and experience to prove it. "! ! ! ! ! ! ! !! " ! ! ! "! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A warm welcome to MYLNHURST

hoosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a parent can make.

Mylnhurst Preparatory School and Nursery is a top independent school for boys and girls aged three to eleven and actively encourages prospective parents to come and see them and the amazing campus for themselves. You don’t have to wait for an open day, simply contact the school and they will arrange to show you around.

The outstanding facilities include a cookery room, outdoor classroom, 25m swimming pool, Apple iMac suite, music rooms, a dance studio, and a sports hall.

buildings provide the perfect metaphor for the school itself: proud of our traditional values but always looking towards the future,” said Headteacher Michael Hibbert.

“Since its founding by the Sisters of Mercy in 1933, generations of children have received an exceptional education and formed a lifelong bond with our school.”

Although a Catholic school, Mylnhurst is open to all children, irrespective of faith. School life is based on values which include inspiring young children to learn, to develop them socially and academically to have vital life chances.

The Mylnhurst journey starts at the

nursery, where three-year-olds are educated in a gentle and child-friendly way to ensure they are 100 per cent school-ready when they leave. In the nursery, children will encounter phonics, numbers, Spanish, sports, swimming, and music and have lots of time to play.

From age four, children join the wider school where learning is as intellectually stimulating as it is fun. The latest in digital technology is embedded within lessons and the curriculum is enriched by the knowledge and passion of subject specialists. Small class sizes never exceed 24 pupils.

“For the past number of years, we have

041 SSide Mar24.qxp 08/02/2024 2:52 pm Page 1

PROMOTION

consistently featured in The Times list of the best 25 primary schools in the country and

and Derbyshire,” added Mr Hibbert, who has been in post for just over a year.

Mr Hibbert has brought a wealth of experience to Mylnhurst, having been head of a similar school for four years. He has been in leadership roles in several settings, both state and independent, and worked as an environmental engineer in the South African gold mines.

“Mylnhurst is a very special place, it is much more than just a school.,” he said.

“Even though we are not academically selective, we achieve outstanding results.

On the sporting front, we win both local and national competitions and in terms of the arts, children have the opportunity to shine in every aspect, including music, dance, and drama.”

Mylnhurst doesn’t feed to any one school – they prepare children for the school that is best for them and their families. Over the past few years, they have sent children to a wide variety of secondary schools, both state and independent. Almost every school within driving distance of Mylnhurst will have had children move on there and do well.

“Results are only a small part of the picture at Mylnhurst,” commented Mr

children thrive. Our emphasis is as much on exceptional pastoral care and emotional well-being as it is on academic excellence.

“The individual spirit of our pupils is cherished; we are here to enable them to become who they want to be, prepared for future happiness and success and ready to make a positive contribution to the world.”

To complement the school day, and

in recognition of the pressures of facing working families, Mylnhurst offers full wraparound care every day from 7.30 am to 6 pm. They also run Camp Merlins every holiday to ensure that children can still access all that is wonderful about the school and that their parents can continue working knowing that their children are engaged, happy and nurtured.

The best way to experience all these wonderful things is to see the school for yourself. Contact them and make an appointment now.

MEET THE HEAD

Meet the HEAD We get to know our local schools a little better by speaking to those who know best - the headteachers.

Mrs Gaynor Jones Hope Valley College

Having been in post since September 2019, Mrs Jones is headteacher at Hope Valley College, which is part of the Chorus Trust.

Her working involves meeting with the Senior Leadership Team, and with children, parents and carers, colleagues, and outside agencies so that all stakeholders are part of the continued school improvement. She also might lead an assembly, teach English lessons, and mentor some of the Year 11 students as they approach their exams.

“I am a visible part of school life through joining other staff in ‘duties’, where we supervise lunch and the end of the day,” said Mrs Jones. “I love working with children and young people, that’s the main reason that I do this job. I enjoy seeing them grow and improve, both in their academic work and in their hobbies and interests.

“The same can be said for the pleasure I feel when seeing colleagues progress in their careers and improving their teaching practice and leadership skills. It is a privilege to be a headteacher and especially to be the Principal of Hope Valley College.”

The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé is now available to order.

The top model in the Mercedes-AMG range combines highly dynamic driving characteristics with increased suitability for everyday use. Components such as the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation, rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics enhance its dynamic character, while the more spacious interior, available two-plus-two seating layout and improved all-round visibility make the new Mercedes-AMG GT even more versatile. %*()* (/*+.*'* / ( ( # ( &&*'( $&%(&%*( / ( $&+*( ( $& + #(*) $)* ($ ( $)$&$, (, ,$ , *($)( +*"$ "( ( *+!#+",).*(,)'(-, ).%( '$&$#)( *.$ .,&$#) ( +$.* ( start from £164,765 OTR.
