SUMMARY:Sarah Gerrard-Jones: Love Your Orchid- 14th November- 10:30-12:00
DESCRIPTION:This November\, the Glasshouse at Rutland Nursery\, our dedicated indoor space for houseplants\, provides the setting for a special morning with Sarah Gerrard-Jones\, aka The Plant Rescuer\, celebrating the launch of her new book\, Love Your Orchid. \nOrchids are among the world’s most popular houseplants\, yet they are often misunderstood. With the right knowledge\, however\, they are surprisingly easy to care for and encourage to flower again. \nSarah will take the mystery out of orchid care\, sharing practical advice on choosing the right orchid\, positioning\, watering and feeding\, keeping it healthy and encouraging it to flower again. She’ll also cover what to do when flowering finishes\, how to care for an orchid during its dormant period and how to recognise when it needs attention. \nWith more than 28\,000 species\, orchids are a fascinating and diverse plant family. Sarah will share her tips for recognising when an orchid is struggling and how to help it thrive. Whether you’re an experienced grower\, have a struggling plant at home or are new to orchids\, you’ll leave with useful knowledge and greater confidence in your care. \nSarah Gerrard-Jones is a houseplant expert\, writer and award-winning designer\, best known as The Plant Rescuer. She won Gold at RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2022 for The Plant Clinic and has appeared on ITV’s Alan Titchmarsh’s Gardening Club and BBC Gardeners’ World. She is also a founder of the Plant Rescue Box\, an RHS-backed initiative helping to reduce plant waste. \nA practical and inspiring morning for anyone who wants to understand their orchids better and help them thrive. \nPhotography credit Dorling Kindersley- Jason Ingram

SUMMARY:The Uppingham Fatstock Show
DESCRIPTION:This time-honoured agricultural showcase proudly staged each year by a dedicated committee from the local farming community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the traditions of rural life up close – a true celebration of livestock\, land\, and local pride. \nAfter a lapse of 10 years during the Second World War and rationing the Uppingham Fatstock Show was revived by a committee of local farmers in 1949. The show was held on December 15th when 17 cattle were shown\, 13 pens of sheep and 11 pigs. After that revival the show has been kept alive and prospered due to the efforts of the local community. \nIn 2017 the Committee has revised the native breed cattle class\, making it open to cattle sired by a pure bred bull currently on the Rare Breed Survival List of Native Breeds. This compliments the class in the pig section which has been in force for several years. \nList of Elgible Sires:\nAberdeen Angus\, Ayshire\, Beef Shorthorn\, Belted Galloway\, Britich White\, Devon\, Dexter\, Galloway\, Gloucester\, Guernsey\, Hereford\, Highland\, Irish Moiled\, Jersey\, Lincoln Red\, Longhorn\, Luing\, Northern Dairy Shorthorn\, Red Poll\, Shetland\, Shorthorn\, South Devon\, Sussex\, Welsh Black\, White Park\, Whitebread Shorthorn\, Vaynol. \nList of Eligible Pigs:\nBritish Lop\, Large Black\, Middle White\, Berkshire\, Tamworth\, Welsh\, British Saddleback\, Gloucester Old Spot\, Oxford Sandy & Black\, Large White.

SUMMARY:The Ultimate Tribute to Luther Vandross - Luther UK
DESCRIPTION:This is THE show for the REAL Luther Vandross fan – Accept no substitutions!

The whole production is spot on. The band are excellent\, the backing vocals are excellent\, and Harry’s vocals are excellent. It’s as close as you’ll get to Luther\, and his personality on stage is hugely entertaining. 100% recommended.” \n“I have seen Harry’s show on numerous occasions and he is absolutely superb. No one comes close and\, in my opinion\, he is the best Luther tribute act out there. I would highly recommend it and can’t wait to get along to another one soon.” \n“Harry is so true to the soul\, spirit and love of Luther. The only thing better was the real Luther himself\, now singing in heaven. Thank you\, Harry\, for keeping Luther alive.” \n“Always a fantastic show and never disappointing. Harry always pulls out all the stops\, whether performing at a huge venue or a more intimate gig. He’s always on my must-see list when he’s in the area. Thank you\, Harry\, for many fantastic evenings.”
