Bamfords auction fever THE HOUSE OF THE MOUSE LEADS DEMAND AT NEW HOME AND COUNTRY AUCTION. amfords Summer House and Garden auction caused a stir when the Rowsley Saleroom, 20 minutes from Sheffield’s Southside, had standing room only to receive the 800 lots.

Auctioneer for the day was Bamfords Director and TV presenter James Lewis, who declared the Saturday sale a roaring success.

“We targeted the sale at a mixed group of collectors and private buyers and with prices ranging from £50 to £20,000 there was something for every pocket, but successful buyers were not limited to the South Yorkshire and Derbyshire areas as 25per cent of items found successful buyers from overseas via the internet bidding,” he said.

Amongst the sale highlights was a fabulous collection of Mouseman furniture, something the saleroom has a reputation for since the world record £46,000 for a fabulous dining suite c.1935. The now world famous mouse signature without question adds to the appeal of this great Yorkshire maker.

It was not only the furniture that caught the buyers’ attention. A collection of sporting guns

B

and militaria made £22,000 and a fabulous two carat diamond pendant found a new home in China for £11,000 – much to the disappointment of several ladies in the room.

The Rowsley Saleroom at the Peak Village Shopping Centre is open Monday to Friday, 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.

For advice from James Lewis and the team call 01629 730920 or meet them at one of the free valuation days every Thursday afternoon at the saleroom or Kelham Island Museum on the first Tuesday of each month from 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m.

Why we seal our weddings with a ring ZOE LEWIS, JEWELLER AND GEMMOLOGIST AT PA JEWELLERY, EXAMINES THE TRADITION AND LASTING APPEAL OF WEDDING RINGS. he exchanging of rings is an integral part of the wedding ceremony and one of the most important parts of the big day, but where does this tradition come from and why do we wear them?

The first evidence dates back at least 5,000 years to Ancient Egypt, where the rings were made from braided reeds, the complete circle representing eternity. The rings quickly degraded so reeds were soon replaced by more durable materials such as leather and bone. In the Roman Empire, iron was a common choice although wealthier people used gold; the ring was an important part of the marriage contract between families.

It was worn on the fourth finger of the bride’s left hand, still the traditional ring finger, because it was believed that a vein known as the ‘Vena Amoris’ ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although disproved by science, this romantic notion is still often cited as a reason for wearing the wedding ring in this position.

The tradition became absorbed into the Christian marriage ceremony during the Middle Ages. Over the centuries more precious metals were used and designs increased in complexity with valuable materials acting as a demonstration of wealth. Gemstones were added to the designs, special messages engraved and detailed scrollwork and patterns carved into the bands.

Only in the twentieth century did it become commonplace for men to wear wedding rings. During World War II, soldiers who were away fighting overseas chose to wear a ring as a comforting reminder of their loving families back home. Subsequently, jewellery for men became more fashionable and it is now so expected that when Prince William chose

T

not to have a wedding ring, it made the news!

Wartime economising was also one of the reasons why plain bands became popular. Additionally, more simple designs enabled people to wear their ring all the time, and as women were increasingly receiving engagement rings, the wedding ring did not need to be so ornate. The yellow gold D-shape band became the default choice for most of the twentieth century.

Nowadays, the range of options available for wedding rings is enormous and many people are personalising their choice. Precious metals such as gold and platinum are still most common, but alternatives like titanium are increasingly popular.

A huge array of patterns and finishes are available, with or without diamonds or other gemstones. Many brides are choosing to match their engagement ring with a wedding band handmade to fit or a design that echoes the shape, profile and style of the existing ring.

We have certainly come a long way since the braided reeds of the Ancient Egyptians, but the meaning remains very much the same.

From tribute bands, to a Christmas craft fair, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a range of entertainment throughout autumn and winter against the historical backdrop of Staveley Hall.

Built over 400 years ago by Sir Peter Frecheville, you will still find some notable historical features that represent this building’s long and reputable heritage. The plaque over the door shows the date 1604, Sir Peter’s status as a Knight of the Realm, and the coats of arms of his parents, Peter Frecheville and Margaret Kaye.

Kicking off the season on 6 September, Meet the Ghosts of Staveley Hall gives you the chance to explore the church and chambers of this beautifully restored building, to learn more about the people who shaped their histories.

On 13 September, Rod Stewart Tribute Act Garry Pease will return to wow audiences, followed by a brilliant Gary Barlow Tribute Night on 11 October.

On 26 November, world-renowned florist, Jonathan Mosley will be hosting a demonstration and afternoon workshop so you can get your home looking gorgeous too.

A

Then, bringing the year to a close is the venue’s annual Christmas Craft Event on 5 December. Bag some beautiful handmade gifts for your friends and family and enjoy festive performances from a brass band and choir. All of these events will take place in the Air Hall, an inflatable 100 square metre venue space outside the hall.

Having undergone a refurbishment in recent years, the venue benefits from modern facilities whilst remaining true to its original structure.

So whether you’re planning a business conference or wedding, Staveley Hall have a range of options to suit you.

Musard is a 38-square-metre room with a capacity of 20 people and is perfect for private parties and smaller exhibitions. Frecheville is a

slightly smaller 27 square metres and comfortably accommodates 20 people for events such as corporate meetings and funeral teas, while the Devonshire is a more spacious 40 square metres, with a capacity of 50 and is ideal for dinner parties and bigger events. And for even bigger bashes, the Air Hall has capacity for up to 100 seated people, with extra space for standing guests.

Being a bespoke wedding venue, the team at the hall strive to offer a wide range of facilities and budgets to meet the needs of individuals – whether you are wanting an intimate reception or a huge celebration. The terrace and gardens make for wonderful wedding photos, while a marquee is also available.

CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR 31 AUG–2 SEPT

A weekend to remember CLEAR YOUR DIARY...

CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR RETURNS THIS MONTH AND PROMISES FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. BY HANNAH SANDERS. elebrity chefs, diving dogs and heroic horsemanship will provide some of the exciting entertainment packed into this year’s Chatsworth Country Fair, which takes place on the stunning Derbyshire estate set against the gleaming stonework of the newly restored house.

Between 31 August and 2 September, they’ll provide an unforgettable, action-packed schedule of activities for all the family to enjoy.

Returning to the Grand Ring this year are JCB’s ten tonne Dancing Diggers. This team of demonstrators are experts in driving diggers, making them do the most impressive moves, all with elegance and split-second precision. They’ve curtsied for the Queen, performed hand-stands on our TV screens, and now they are bringing their jaw-dropping dance moves to Chatsworth.

Also back are the Household Cavalry Musical Ride whose riders will perform a set of complex drill

C

From helter skelters to parachutists and cooking to cars, there’s plenty to entertain everyone

movements that showcase the skill, courage, precision and discipline of both horse and rider, all to a musical backdrop.

As part of the display, the riders, who are in full ceremonial regalia, lie on the ground with their horses to mimic a classical battlefield manoeuvre. And with fanfares to start and end the display, this is a sight to linger in the memory.

There is plenty of aerial entertainment at the fair with flypasts by the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flights, as well as breathtaking aerobatics from the Global All-Stars and parachuting precision from The British Legion Extreme Human Flight Team.

One of the country’s largest hot air balloon lifts will be setting off each day (weather dependent) in the early morning and at dusk, flying over the river Derwent and parkland, providing a majestic site across the countryside.

In celebration of the countryside, animals naturally take a starring role, whether it’s the adorable ponies taking part in the high-speed mounted games, the terrier race, hounds parade or the falconry display.

And new this year is the K9 Aqua Sports, featuring all kinds of aquatic canine competition. Dogs will jump from a deck into a large swimming pool and compete against each other in the long jump, high jump and the sprint.

CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR 31 AUG–2 SEPT

Full of grace CB’s ten tonne ballerinas have curtsied for the Queen, pirouetted on our TV screens and thrilled thousands all over the world. And this year, the team of mechanical dancers – weighing over 80 tonnes – will bring their elegant dance moves to Chatsworth Country Fair’s Grand Ring.

The diggers are experts at synchronised dancing, and their spilt-second precision will be keeping the whole family on the edge of their seats as they watch the vehicles perform handstands and perform ‘The Wheel’.

Ahead of their Chatsworth performance, Matthew Lucas, captain of the Dancing Diggers, talks history of the diggers, his favourite dance moves and what he’s most looking forward to about the country fair.

J

THEY’LL BE HITTING THE DANCEFLOOR DAILY... HANNAH SANDERS SPEAKS TO CAPTAIN MATTHEW LUCAS ABOUT WHY THE DANCING DIGGERS WILL BE THIS YEAR’S MAIN ATTRACTION. underneath it. When he came back from lunch and it was still there, an idea struck and that was how Dancing Diggers started.

Tell me about Dancing Diggers.

JCB was founded by Lord Bamford in 1945 and has grown from a small garage business into the world’s biggest privately-owned construction equipment company.

In the sixties they built a new model, and Lord Bamford had some customers come to the factory.

When customers used to come to the factory, they would get out of the helicopter into a car, but this time he did something a bit different, asking an engineer to stand a machine up and park the car

How did you become involved in Dancing Diggers?

I’ve been with Dancing Diggers for 13 years now, and I’m really honoured to be the captain.

Before I came to JCB I was an auto electrician by trade, but as a little boy I had always wanted to become a digger driver for JCB. A job came up and I applied but although I had all the credentials I couldn’t

CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR 31 AUG–2 SEPT

actually drive the diggers so they offered to take me on as an apprentice. Gradually I worked my way up, and I never expected to become the captain for the Dancing Diggers – it really is a dream come true.

Being part of the Dancing Diggers is just fantastic. The lads you work with are fantastic, you meet interesting people and get to go all over the world with the company.

How do you choreograph the performances?

Every show has something different in it, and we can do the performance on any kind of surface – even ice.

It’s important for us to tailor the show to the venue, as they are all different sizes, which sometimes limits which machines we can use. We usually use a range of different products in our shows, including JCB 3CX, 3CX Compacts, Loadall and our new product, a Hydradig.

When planning a show we have to take the weather into account, as because we are diggers we need to be careful of the grounds.

Being the captain, I am in the flagship vehicle and I also have a wingman. I then split the team into two with three diggers going with me and three with my wingman.

I’ve also changed a few things, one of them being how we salute. We used to just salute to either the members or the main grandstand but now I have adapted it so the diggers go to each corner and wave and salute to everybody.

What is one of your favourite moves?

One of them is called ‘The Wheel’. It involves four on one side, four on the other and we go round slowly in a wheel.

At the same time we have smoke going on in different colours – usually relating to the country we are in.

I also really like the wedding arch, which is where we all stand up together forming an arch and then one machine drives underneath.

What are some of your most memorable moments?

I’ve done some work with Top Gear Live which was incredible. We did a show in Poland where we had to come into the arena, stand the diggers up as quick as possible and then a car comes underneath spins around and goes through backwards. It was nerve-wracking but definitely one of my favourite shows and manoeuvers.

Chatsworth Country Fair is one of my favourites too as it is just such a fantastic atmosphere and everybody is treated like family.

What’s some of the most enjoyable things?

First and foremost is seeing the audience reaction, I just love it when you can bring a smile to their face and they all join in clapping and waving at us.

Also, I really just enjoy being the captain as it is such an honour to be part of JCB and the Dancing Diggers. We are number one for machines in the world and to be able to show off what we can do and also our products is just fantastic.

Touching on Chatsworth, what are you most looking forward to about the performance?

I’ve been building on the routine over the past couple of years to bring something new to the Fair. This year I would like to use eight machines and just wow the audience.

For me, I really look forward to working with the staff and audience and if it’s anything like last time, I know it’s going to be brilliant. I just can’t wait to get there now and showcase what JCB and the Dancing Diggers can do.

Outside of the Grand Ring, what do you enjoy at Chatsworth?

Literally everything. It’s really difficult to pick just one thing as it is all so enjoyable, there’s just so much going on and it’s fantastic to walk around.

There’s a miscellany of spectacular events and demonstrations, brilliant trade stands and plenty of activities and experiences for the young.”

Appearing at Chatsworth for the first time is Nadiya Hussain, who’ll kick things off on Friday with three demos and book signings. Born in Luton, Nadiya has been baking for over ten years, and developed her skills as a baker during home economics. She’s now an established TV presenter and author, and with her latest book and series, Nadiya’s Family Favourites, it will be a treat to see her in action.

Returning for the third time is the nation’s favourite bread maker Paul Hollywood, who’ll be both informing and entertaining with his demonstrations.

The son of a baker, Paul originally trained as a sculptor before his father persuaded him to join the family business, and he’s gone on to become one of the country’s finest and well-known artisan bakers.

Once again, the pick of the region’s talented chefs have been invited to take part in the line-up which runs from 9.30am to 5.30pm in the Stoves Cookery Theatre each day.

This year’s line-up includes Adam Harper, head chef of Rowley’s in Baslow; Tim Sidaway, a chef who has spent over a decade promoting, growing and rearing local food; Eva Humphries, the Wholefood Warrior; and The Devonshire Arms Hotel and Spa’s head chef Paul Leonard.

There’ll also be some demonstrations from some of Sheffield’s finest including Chris Hanson (Blend Kitchen), Natasha Farrell (The Library), Justin Rowntree (SweetSpot Hospitality Consultancy) and Charlie Curran (Peppercorn Restaurant). We talked to them about their businesses, culinary heroes, cooking inspiration and what visitors can expect from them at this year’s Country Fair.

CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR 31 AUG–2 SEPT

JUSTIN ROWNTREE SweetSpot Hospitality Consultant www.sweetspot.life After a degree in psychology and a ten-year career in global recruitment, Justin’s entrepreneurial spirit drove him to open a bar/restaurant in Sheffield.

During the 2008 recession his business was on the rocks but, after a transformational Kitchen Nightmares encounter with Gordon Ramsay, Justin transformed the business creating the popular Silversmiths Restaurant.

In 2017, Justin left Silversmiths to start SweetSpot Hospitality Consulting where he focuses on restaurant trouble-shooting, coaching and mentoring restaurant owners.

Who is your culinary hero and why?

Gordon Ramsay of course, as I wouldn’t be here today without him. I have no idea where my business journey would have ended without his input.

What’s one of the most enjoyable things about your job?

Being able to use the 12 years of learning the hard way to help others achieve their goal quicker. The most rewarding thing is coaching business owners and nurturing teams to perform their best and realise their potential.

What are you most looking forward to about Chatsworth?

Compering again at The Cookery Theatre. I have six demos this year so I have my work cut out. It’s always a great atmosphere in the marquee and having an eager foodie audience is fantastic.

What can people expect from the Stoves Cookery Theatre?

Apart from having food royalty, there’s always something to learn. Whether that’s the latest trends – like plant-based dishes – or the best in seasonal cooking, hopefully everyone will take away something.

Who are your culinary heroes?

Nico Landinnis, Roux Brothers, Raymond Blanc, Thomas Keller and Anthony Bourdain. Reading about their journeys and the drive they have to fulfil their ambitions just gave me the strength and confidence to take on the challenge of opening Blend Kitchen.

CHRIS HANSON Blend Kitchen www.blendcookeatshare.com Chris Hanson is a born and bred Sheffielder, and after an appearance on The Restaurant with French chef Raymond Blanc, he was inspired to open Blend Kitchen.

Sheffield based, this is a social enterprise with a vision to use cuisine and hospitality to enhance people’s lives.

Chris’s vision was realised when his city centre restaurant opened in June 2018, with a cuisine based on the multi-cultural fabric of Sheffield.

What inspired you to start a career as a chef?

Family, simply – food was always a key at family events and it brought us all together, so I saw the way food created and strengthened relationships.

What do you find most enjoyable about cooking?

The ability to be creative every day. There’s nothing better than going to the Moor Market with an empty bag and then filling it with all the wonderful offerings.

I also love the camaraderie of the team, when front of house staff work as one it makes you feel invincible. My staff includes those with learning difficulties, refugees, parents returning to work, ex-offenders and those who are long-term unemployed. They are all wonderful, totally unique and inspire me very single day.

Where does your cooking inspiration come from?

Right now, the people I work with at Blend Kitchen are all from varied cultural and ethnic backgrounds and they are just an amazing inspiration. Also, the great local producers and farmer who supply us are all so versatile and tasty.

What dishes will you be demonstrating at Chatsworth?

I’ve been exploring plant-based cuisine so I’ll be demonstrating that. I’ll be showcasing our vegan dishes of distinction that reflect Blend Kitchen’s cultural diversity.

CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR 31 AUG–2 SEPT

NATASHA FARRELL The Library Natasha Farrell is part owner and head chef at The Library, a new venue due to open this September in the heart of Attercliffe, Sheffield. Housed in the oldest library in Sheffield, this is a joint venture with Aaron Stewart and David Slater.

The Library is a place for music, entertainment and most importantly, a diverse food menu promising to be colourful, healthy and packed with love.

What inspired you to become a chef?

I’ve always loved food, and as a young girl I would always be shouted down from my room to watch my dad cook. He seemed to be able to cook anything with ease and swagger and although he could cook most things he always went back to his roots cooking West Indian food.

What do you enjoy most about cooking?

There’s nothing better in the world than gathering people together and eating. I love to cook and all that passion goes into what I make. Each particular step of cooking is enjoyable; from the preparation and stirring the pot through to plating up.

What’s your favourite recipe?

Ackee and saltfish – a very typical Caribbean dish. The ackee fruit was imported to the Caribbean from Ghana before 1725 and is now Jamaica’s national fruit. The dish is traditionally served with rice but of course, I cook mine with a twist using a recipe I developed of my dad’s.

What are you looking forward to about Chatsworth?

I haven’t been to the Fair before so I’m looking forward to the experience as a whole, although I am slightly nervous as I wasn’t aware of the scale of the event.

We’ll be taking the team from The Library and this is our first outing together as a team, so we’re looking forward to meeting new people and shouting about our new venue. And, of course I can’t wait to be among some amazing chefs like Mary Berry.

What can visitors expect from you in the Cookery Theatre?

Some would say I’m not a typical chef and I don’t intend to do anything different with my style at Chatsworth.

I’m a proud Yorkshire lass with a Caribbean heritage, and I just love cooking food where every element can be tasted in each bite. Visitors can expect lots of laughter, dancing and plenty of smiles from my demos.

with me can be annoying as I can pull inspiration from anything.

Where others see a box to put toiletries in, I see a way to serve smoked pigeon.

CHARLIE CURRAN Peppercorn Restaurant www.peppercorn-restaurant.co.uk Charlie Curran is co-owner and head chef at Peppercorn on Abbeydale Road, Dore which is known for serving up some of the very best freshly made food.

What are some of your favourite ingredients to cook with?

This could change daily if not hourly, but fresh fish and vegetables are always great to cook with. At the moment I am playing around with some recipes involving pickles and kimchi.

What’s one of your favourite recipes?

My chicken liver parfait – it’s been a main staple at nearly every place I have cooked.

Where does your cooking inspiration come from?

This is something that is continuous, and shopping trips

Tell us about what dishes you’ll be demonstrating.

This is still to be confirmed but something fresh and fun. I want to showcases dishes that reflect Peppercorn’s ethos, and hopefully demonstrate something the audience will be inspired to cook at home.

What are you most looking forward to about Chatsworth?

I’m really looking forward to cooking for new people and showing that a little restaurant around the corner from your home, is really worth going to and supporting.

CHATSWORTH COUNTRY FAIR 31 AUG–2 SEPT

Make a splash FROM POOL JUMPING TO GUNDOG SCURRYING, THERE’LL BE PLENTY OF CANINE ACTION AT CHATSWORTH, WRITES HANNAH SANDERS. n true celebration of the countryside, animals naturally take a starring role at the Chatsworth Country Fair. And this year it’s our four-legged friends that are in the spotlight.

New to the Fair for 2018, is the K9 Aqua Sports, which will feature all kinds of aquatic canine competition and promises to provide your pup (and you) with heaps of enjoyment.

K9 Aqua Sports is the UK and Europe’s largest independent canine aquatic and dock diving event and competition company, and they put on a show that’s about having fun with your best friend.

They are innovators at creating more dog-friendly water sports competitions, using the dock and pool.

Dock jumping is a fully interactive sport, where the dog and handler work together as a team to improve their skills, entertain themselves and friends and family and above all have fun.

At Chatsworth dogs will jump from a deck into a large swimming pool, compete against each other in the long jump, high jump and the sprint.

As well as being great fun to watch, there’s also the chance to put your own dog to the test.

K9 Aqua Sports is a truly unforgettable dog sport, and it’s open to all dogs, of any breed, size and ability as long as they are over six months old.

The doggy fun doesn’t stop there though, as it wouldn’t be the country fair without the popular family fun dog show. This year the classes include; best puppy (any breed), best sporting dog, best any variety, best rescued, dog in the best condition, dog with the waggiest tail, best child handler (under 12s) and much more – so give your four-legged pal a good old brush, don on your best jacket and get entering.

Gundogs love to work, and to celebrate their endeavour Chatsworth have organised several competitions to test their speed and handling skills.

And they even have a race for novices.

The gundog scurries cost £2 per go, and the Chatsworth Challenge is £8 to enter. Not sure which one to enter? Have a look at the round-up so you and your dog can get training.

I

Gundog Scurries Multi Pick-Up This scurry requires the dog and the handler to work together to retrieve five canvas dummies in the fastest time. Don’t worry as the clock stops in between retrieves.

The Water Scurry This event promises to be great for all water loving gundogs. The competition requires two dummies to be retrieved in the fastest time across the River Derwent.

Up and Over This involves a series of straw bale jumps with a dummy to retrieve from the end.

The Mixed Double A two dummy retrieve against the clock.

Novice Mixed Double A two dummy retrieve against the clock – open to those who’ve never had a go at scurrying before.

Junior Scurries The up and over and the two dummy scurry are open to visitors under 16 only.

The Chatsworth Challenge The challenge incorporates all four events, and the dog that completes all four scurries in the fastest time, over the three days, will become the Chatsworth Challenge Gundog Champion.

If your dog isn’t a gundog but still wants to try their luck, worry not as you can have-a-go for fun at the gundog scurries no matter what breed.

dave stone design The difference is in the detail.

Bespoke kitchen and bedroom design and project management “Let’s get a new kitchen”, sounds easy. Decision made we looked at various kitchen companies who were happy to work with our ideas but we still had not found anyone willing to take on the entire project from design, planning, building, installation through to completion. This was important to us in order to avoid conflicting issues, delays and complications.

no fuss and a can do attitude and everyone went out of their way to please.

Then we found Dave and Suzanne at Dave Stone Design who from the initial conversation took our ideas and made them into a reality.

We put our trust in Dave Stone Design and they did not disappoint on any score. We would certainly recommend them and have to say that each member of the team in their own way made this major decision for us a very happy and worthwhile experience. We now have a wonderful extended kitchen which we are very proud of.

This was going to be a major upheaval for us but at every stage of the build we were kept up to date with everything that was happening. Dave, Suzanne and their team were very professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking.

Any issues or queries that arose were always fixed or answered quickly with

Nothing was too much trouble. Having people working in your home can be very disruptive but we found the team’s work ethic to be exemplary. They all worked so well together and there was always the sound of laughter in the background, surely a happy team at work.

IN BRIEF

Inspirational cancer survivor recognised for phenomenal fundraising achievement A man who started fundraising as a thank you for the life-saving treatment he received at Weston Park Hospital, has been recognised by Weston Park Cancer Charity staff for his dedication to supporting cancer patients locally.

John Price, aged 64, from Sandygate has worked tirelessly over the last 14 years to repay the cost for the life-changing clinical drugs trial he received at Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield – one of only four purpose built Cancer Centres in the UK. After John was faced with the devastating news that his cancer was terminal, he refused to accept it, and ultimately ended up participating in a clinical John Price and family with the trial that has extended his life greatly; enabling him team at Weston Park Hospital to see his sons through their education, qualify in their respected professions, get married and have children.

As a thank you for the care he received, John vowed to raise £100,000 for Weston Park Cancer Charity to repay the cost of his clinical drugs trial, but he has since surpassed that target, raising over £300,000.

Commenting on being recognised by Weston Park Cancer Charity, John said: “I feel so humble. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Weston Park Hospital, and I wanted to do something to say thank you for the wonderful care I received.

“Without my family and friends at Hallamshire Golf Club, this wouldn’t have been possible - thank you for your help. And thank you to Weston Park. I hope by sharing this, we can inspire others to fundraise on behalf of this very worthy cause.”

Huge food hall for Castle House Kollider Projects have teamed up with the folks at Peddler, Tamper and Depot Bakery to renovate the upper ground floor of the former Co-op department store inside Castle House to create a 16,000 square foot food hall.

Hot on the heels of news of the British Gaming Institute’s move into Sheffield Kollider comes the announcement that the creative hub will also be home to 'several street food inspired independent food vendors, together with a bar, an area for private dining and a unique social work and event space.'

The new Scandi-inspired food hall promises to be in the same vein as similar venues in other cities, such as Manchester’s Mackie Mayor, and will open early every morning to the aromas of Tamper’s coffee and Depot Bakery’s freshl croissants from late autumn.

Ringwood Hall’s Secret Garden Spa achieves prestigious Five Bubble rating The Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa is delighted to have been awarded the prestigious five bubble rating for the newly opened Garden Secret Spa. This is the first of the ratings to be awarded within Derbyshire in 2018.

The spa scored top marks in all areas during a strict inspection, in particular highlighting the food quality, spa facilities and customer service.

The inspectors noted that they loved the impressive gardens, the garden theme and the Lola’s Apothecary treatments, stating: “This hidden gem of a spa embraces nature at every turn, making it a supremely soothing place to escape to. Treatments are unique and professionally delivered, the facilities are top-notch, customer service is great and the gardens are simply stunning.”

Spa manager Jemma Whitney said: “To be the first Derbyshire Spa with Five Bubbles just makes the hard work the whole team have put in even more rewarding.

TRAVEL

Sail away FORGET THE PAIN OF THE PLANE, TRAVEL TO NEW YORK IN STYLE ONBOARD THE CUNARD QUEEN MARY II. BY CARMEL STEWART. sometimes think it would be easier if we were all required to wear pyjamas when travelling by air.

That way we would have less hassle at airports having to take off coats, jackets, jumpers, shoes and belts while sorting out bags, laptops, phones, keys, cash, liquids and, in some cases, pushchairs, toddlers and nappy bags.

It’s for our security, I hear you say, and so it is, but that doesn’t make it any easier so when the invitation arrived to spend Christmas in New York, I hesitated. Airports at Christmas?

Hmm. But I had the time and was saving on hotels, so it seemed churlish to refuse.

Keen to avoid the easy-peasy, cheap and squeezy airlines, I looked at an alternative means of transport and came up with a Cunard non-stop crossing on the Queen Mary II. Not to be confused with a cruise, for me this was a strictly one-stop journey from Southampton to New York, which is far less stressful than you might imagine.

First off, there is a train directly from Sheffield to Southampton. Off the train, into a taxi; out of the taxi into the departure lounge; bags whisked away almost before the taxi had come to a halt. Slight moment of panic – were they so efficiently dispatched by a port employee or by an opportunist thief?

Momentary hesitation and then relax. I’m on holiday. I have my passport, my ticket, my bank card and my Kindle, what else do I need?

I

An upgraded cabin with balcony

Entry to the departure lounge was equally straightforward. Walk through the doors and you’ll be presented with a coloured card, up the escalator to the spacious waiting area with free magazines and newspapers, plus coffee, tea and snacks at not too exorbitant prices. Then it is merely a question of waiting for your colour to be called. So long as you have your passport, a printed copy of your ticket and a printout of your ESTA (US Visa), check-in is very simple and hassle free.

There is the inevitable security screening but it’ll take all your ‘Merry Christmas’ bags without a murmur – Henderson’s Relish, hot sauce selection, mince pies and all. A short stroll later and you arrive on board what can only be described as a floating luxury hotel.

The setting is truly spectacular with a magnificent central staircase, endless corridors, wonderful dining rooms, dance hall, theatre, planetarium and swimming pools. There is even a kennels staffed by qualified professionals, so your pets can also travel in style.

Excellent food is available in multiple locations; the Queen’s Grill, the Princess Grill, the Britannia Club, King’s Court and the Golden Lion pub among them.

There are multiple activities too. Joining in is optional. Some entered everything with huge enthusiasm, others were of the bah

The majestic staircase

humbug variety and kept clear. You can dress up for dinner or not – although eating after 6pm requires smart/casual at the very least.

Some took the plunge with long frocks, bow-ties and cummerbunds, others skated very close to the edge with black jeans and Tshirts.

I was not keen on joining the choir, learning to paint, Trivia tournaments or ballroom dancing but I did learn to play backgammon, thanks to Terry who was not an employee but an enthusiast, eager to spread the word.

If I have a point of criticism it has to be for the internet access which was truly dreadful.

Not that that was anyone on board’s fault. It is what it is but the fact that Cunard charges were so high was a bone of contention among all trying to log on – or indeed log off. I paid more than £80 for my 240-minute package. It regularly took me 20 minutes to access my emails, five minutes to read them and a further 20 minutes to log off – all

Carinthia Lounge

included in the paid for time. I twice had to go to reception and ask them to log me off as my laptop was stuck fast.

So, Cunard, why not make it FREE? It won’t change the doziness of it all but it will stop people complaining.

One thing about which there was no complaint was our guest speaker – Sir Ranulph Fiennes – an excellent entertaining speaker and a thoroughly pleasant gent into the bargain.

THE DETAILS: A transatlantic Christmas crossing on the QMII costs from £889 per person. That fare includes the crossing, food and soft drinks in certain areas. It also included the flight home but not any alcohol.

Fine dining requires an upgraded cabin.

Normally, I would advise travellers to book the best they can afford but, if New York is your final destination, select the cheapest you can live with for a week.

You’ll have access to all the shows and entertainment. The food in King’s Court is wonderful and plentiful. Service is help yourself – and people did, believe you me – but it’s relaxed and comfortable. Afterwards you can stroll across to the Carinthia Lounge for coffee. If you are feeling really anti-social, room service is available free of charge.

There are plenty of areas to sit and relax during the journey. A balcony suite will give you the same view of the Atlantic mile after

mile but that’s about it.

If you decide to go on to the Caribbean, more expensive accommodation is worth considering.

On boarding you will be required to register your bank card. Any expenses incurred will then be deducted. There are many upmarket shops on board as well as places for fancy coffees and cocktails, spa treatments and hair styling – all of which will be added to the final tally. If you travel with the family a check on expenditure every couple of days will save palpitations at the end of the voyage.

Note too, that, unless you ask to have it removed, you will automatically be charged tips at between $11.50 and $13.50 per person per day, depending on accommodation. You will also find 15 per cent has been added to your bill for any bar, wine or salon services. It all adds up if you are not careful.

HEROES

LEADING THE WAY AS ONE OF THE FACES OF A NEW NHS RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN, NEWLY-QUALIFIED NURSE AISHA THABET IS HELPING TO INSPIRE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE TO JOIN THE CARING PROFESSIONS. isha Thabet, a 26-year-old nurse from Sheffield, has been chosen as an ambassador for a new national nursing and allied health profession recruitment campaign.

Aisha, who works as an adult nurse in the A&E department of Northern General Hospital, is one of a team of newly-qualified student nurses and allied health professionals from across the country who have been recruited as ambassadors. They will spread the word about their professions, talk about their experiences and provide first-hand advice to those thinking about doing a nursing or AHP degree.

The campaign, spearheaded by Health Education England, aims to encourage more students to study for degrees in nursing and the allied health professions. It will look to increase applications through clearing 2018 and ahead of the UCAS applications deadline in January 2019.

Aisha said: “I’m really proud to have been chosen as an ambassador for this exciting new campaign. It’s vital that we inspire more young people who are choosing their future career paths to study these degrees and educate them on the huge range of

HEROES

CHERIE LAWRENCE’S STORY Cherie became a mental health nurse after suffering post-natal depression as a teenager.

Her career took off from there, and she isn't looking back. She has just started working at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital.

What made you decide to become a mental health nurse?

“I became a mother unexpectedly at 17 and suffered from post-natal depression both during and after my pregnancy. Unfortunately at the time there wasn’t really that much information out there, and neither my family nor I really understood the condition. My doctor couldn’t offer much help, either.

“To try and understand it better I did a community mental health course and discovered a passion for the subject. I found it really fascinating.

“At school, like many teenagers, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, but I had from quite a young age always admired nurses - after all, we trust our lives with them, and they’re the backbone of the NHS. “So when I discovered a passion for the subject of mental health, becoming a mental health nurse seemed like the obvious thing to do. I also felt like becoming a mental health nurse would help me be a really positive role model for my daughter.”

‘I’m really proud to have been chosen as an ambassador for this exciting new campaign.

It’s vital that we inspire more young people who are choosing their future career paths to study these degrees and educate them on the huge range of opportunities that careers in nursing offer.’

opportunities that careers in nursing offer.

“Not only does studying nursing make you highly employable, but in fact, I was offered a job before I’d even finished my degree, and it’s a hugely rewarding career.

“As a nurse working in A&E, I get to make a real difference to people’s lives every day.”

The campaign, which launched at the end of May and will run primarily across digital platforms, will put the spotlight on the benefits of these degrees and resulting careers, including a social purpose and the chance to make a difference to people’s lives, high graduate employment (94 per cent of graduate nurses find employment in a nursing job within six months of finishing their degree), the opportunity to work anywhere in the UK, and career development opportunities such as teaching, research and team leadership.

For more information, visit: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/knowaboutnursing

How did you become a mental health nurse?

“I studied for my degree in mental health nursing at university, and was actually the first person in my family to go to university, which was a little scary, but I needn’t have worried as there’s so much support out there for nursing students.

“I really enjoyed my degree and particularly the variety of placements I was given. I was able to get really valuable experience of working in hospital and community settings, with young people and old, including placements in forensics and working with people with functional dementia.

“Nurses - particularly mental health nurses - are really in demand, so I was contacted about job opportunities all the way through my degree, and was offered a choice of four jobs

when I graduated.”

“Being a nurse means that unlike quite a lot of other professions, you have a guaranteed job for life, which means I’m never going to have to worry about getting a job and providing for my daughter.

“I think some people worry about the responsibility they’ll have once they’re doing the job for real, but the NHS runs an amazing preceptorship programme which helps bridge the gap between being a student nurse and a qualified nurse. They make sure you’re really supported, with regular group meetings and one to ones where you can discuss anything you need, and they make sure you have access to further training, such as safeguarding.”

What is a typical working day like for you?

“I get to work with a variety of people and importantly, no two days are the same. I go to work each day never knowing what to expect, which keeps things really interesting.

“I work with a range of patients on the ward, some of whom are very vulnerable, and I work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, who are really supportive of each other. I think some people have a view that mental health nursing must be really tough, and whilst there are challenging times, there are also lots of lovely things that we get to do with patients as well, on a one-to-one basis, like taking them out for a walk or shopping in town. This helps give them back some normality and experience of life outside the ward.”

What has been the highlight of your career so far?

“I love my job, so it’s difficult to know where to start. I love the variety and how rewarding it is to see the difference we make to the lives of our patients. I also love that I have a guaranteed job for life - a lot of my friends are jealous.”

What's next and what are your top tips for anyone thinking of a similar career?

“I’ll be becoming a mentor in the next six months and hope to complete a masters in the next three years. I think it’s really important for students to understand how much support and help there is out there for newly qualified nurses, how varied the job is, and the opportunities that are out there for developing your career in the direction you want to, while continuing to learn new skills.”

MOTORING

THERE ARE SOME VERY SPECIAL ANNIVERSARIES TO BE CELEBRATED IN THIS MONTH’S ROUND-UP, WRITES JORDAN CUTFORTH.

A very special car Bentley is celebrating its 100th year in 2019, so how do you celebrate such an occasion? By making a very special edition of your most prestigious vehicle, that’s how.

Called the Mulsanne W.O Edition by Mulliner, it’s a homage to founder W.O Bentley’s famous final 1930s design – the ‘8-litre’. What’s special about this is that each of the 100 cars built will hold a slice of crankshaft from W.O Bentley’s personal car.

This particular Mulsanne is very special because of the range of features it beholds: Onyx paintwork; Mulliner illuminated cocktail cabinet; an interior colour split made from luxurious Fireglow Heritage and Fireglow hide with Beluga hide detailing and blind stitching.

A great collectors piece for the all the 100 lucky customers.

Double decade The Audi TT is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

The TT first made its debut to the world with its groundbreaking design back in 1998, being released onto the road three years later.

To celebrate this double decade anniversary, the TT coupe and roadster have undergone enhancements to exterior design, power upgrades and an equipment uplift. The S-Line and Black edition models are further differentiated from their predecessors. The Audi virtual cockpit now has an additional sport display providing information on engine output, torque and G-forces.

The 1.8-litre TFSI engine is being replaced by a 194hp 2.0-litre engine and the 227hp 2.0-litre engine has been boosted up to 242hp.

Orders in the autumn. First deliveries late 2018.

UP FOR THE CUP Performance car enthusiasts will know of the Megane R.S; its driving dynamics are the best in the hot hatch business, and the Trophy raises the bar even further.

We now have a new Megane R.S Trophy and it’s going to shake up the hot hatch segment. Based on the Cup chassis, the Trophy boasts a new 1.8-litre turbo engine producing 300hp and 310lb ft of torque. As with all Megane R.S models, power is delivered through the front wheels via either a six-speed manual or six-speed dualclutch gearbox.

Like the ordinary Megane R.S, the Trophy comes with a rearwheel steering system which aids the agility of the car to make it much more nimble.

Orders open this autumn with deliveries starting in the winter.

Stark contrast Say hello to the first ever Marvel-themed car, the Hyundai Kona Iron Man Edition.

On the outside, it has a unique frontlighting signature, including a custom daytime running light form that closely resembles the facemask and eye shape of the Iron Man suit. Other Stark-like flourishes include an Iron Man mask motif on the roof, a unique V-shaped hood garnish, front bonnet Iron Man mask badging and custom 18-inch alloy wheels with Iron Man mask centre caps. The exterior colour is an exclusive Iron Man red with matte grey.

Inside, Tony Stark’s signature adorns the instrument panel alongside a unique Iron Man shift lever knob, a special head up display and centre stack featuring Iron Man visual graphics, and a custom seat design.

CHESTERFIELD CHAMPIONS

WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE BEEN BASKING IN THE GLORIOUS SUMMER AND OUTLOOK FOR THE TOWN IS SUNNY, SAYS PETER SWALLOW, CHAIR OF DESTINATION CHESTERFIELD. he fantastic weather weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced throughout July and August has not just boosted the economy nationally, but locally as well.

According to VisitBritain, around 74 per cent of Britons have stayed in the country to

T

take their holidays this year. The fantastic weather has given many of us no reason to head abroad this summer, instead we have found everything on our doorstep.

Later this month, Chesterfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitor economy will come under the spotlight at the annual Investment Summit organised by Destination Chesterfield.

Living in Chesterfield, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite easy to forget what we have on our doorstep and, instead, focus on what we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Next time you are in the town centre, try looking at it through the eyes of a tourist - our historic market, the stunning crooked spire church, beautiful Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and a plethora of independent shops. However, we cannot rely on this alone to bring footfall to the town.

As a nation, our shopping habits are changing following the increase of online

shopping and the convenience out of town retail parks. This is why Chesterfield Borough Council is making a concerted effort to increase the amount of people who live and stay in the town centre. The market square and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park regularly hosts events and old buildings are being repurposed and transformed into cafĂŠs, bars and restaurants as well as residential and hotel accommodation.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting time.

Examples of this progress include the former Post Office that has been transformed into a new cafĂŠ bar and apartments, 10 apartments are being created above the Odyssey restaurant and, of course, the former Co-Op is soon to become a Premier Inn hotel, seven restaurants and a health and fitness centre.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late for the new Sorbo Lounge, that opened in the old Post Office building last month, to enter the 2018 Chesterfield Food and Drink Awards, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope we see it and more newcomers to the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and drink scene at the awards next year.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the many Chesterfield residents that nominates the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars in the Food and Drink Awards each year, what better excuse do you need to start trying them out now?
