Takes one to know one… Sisters Sarah and Juliette are going on a whisky-fuelled campervan road-trip across Scotland to celebrate Juliette’s birthday – and they’re going to dig up some demons from the past. Sarah is 15. Sexual conquests: 2.5 (one only went halfway in) Great loves: 1 (her English teacher Mr Keaveney, who definitely feels the same way) Hates: Her annoying younger sister Juliette Likes: Her best friend Nessa, boy band 4Princes Sarah is 41. Sexual conquests: Rather not say, but that last one was compellingly awful Great loves: Nope Hates: Millennials like Juliette thinking they’ve got it bad Likes: Fellow Gen X-ers Cover Story – Mhairi McFarlane Enemies to lovers and fake dating combine in a brand new rom-com perfect for fans of Emily Henry Bel’s joined the tiny Manchester office of a national paper from her indie podcast. Thirty-something Connor is going back to the start as the new intern. The latest office news? They can’t stand each other. So of course Bel bumps into Connor when she’s working undercover on the biggest scoop of her career. And of course she’s forced to improvise, pretending they’re a couple. A couple deeply in love. Two rivals. One fake romance. The headline writes itself… Emma Jane Unsworth is a BAFTA-nominated, BIFA-winning screenwriter and bestselling novelist. She has written four novels and a memoir, and has written extensively as a journalist for various publications from The Guardian to Grazia . Her third novel Adults (Borough Press) was an instant bestseller when it was published in 2020. In 2021 Emma published a memoir about post-natal depression, After the Storm (Wellcome/Profile), which she is currently adapting for television. Emma’s fourth novel, Slags will be published in May 2025 by Borough Press. She is adapting Slags for television with The Forge (THE BUCCANEERS). Sunday Times bestselling author Mhairi McFarlane was born in Scotland in 1976 and her unnecessarily confusing name is pronounced Vah-Ree. After some efforts at journalism, she started writing novels and her first book, You Had Me At Hello, was an instant success and she’s since sold nearly 2 million copies of her books. Cover Story is her eleventh book and she lives in Nottingham with a man and a cat. Information Source: Waterstones | eventbrite

How Speed Dating Works in Nottingham When you arrive at the Nottingham venue you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered we will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date. You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over we will ring a bell to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date.

At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day. Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink. Once all the dates are over you have the opportunity to stay on at the venue to mingle freely with others.

I reduce the amount of sugar in my jam, to optimise the flavour of the fruit and like to experiment with complementary, seasonal additions, in order to create unique flavour combinations. All my fruit is produced without the use of pesticides/herbicides, hand picked from plot to pot within a few hours. I love knowing that, for each jar of jam I produce, I can point out exactly where the fruit comes from and what goes into it. As all the fruit is grown on my allotment, there is a limit to the number of preserves I can produce in one season, so you might have to wait a year for the next batch to become available. I also make a range of seasonal cordials. About the Community Orchard This workshop will be run from the Community Orchard's beautiful outdoor kitchen.

A contestant on Strictly Come Dancing (2017) and a third-place finalist on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! (2024) he exhibits huge bravery. His tour ‘Borderline National Trinket’ starts in May. He writes regularly for the Sunday Times , and is the author of half a dozen books, including a bestselling autobiography, Fathomless Riches , and the bereavement bestseller The Madness of Grief , written after the death of his partner, David Coles.
