Front Cover: The popular “Water Paddlerz” at the award-winning ‘Fishers Adventure Farm Park’ in West Sussex (fishersfarmpark.co.uk). Fishers is the ‘all-inclusive’ option for a great value family day out in the heart of the Sussex Countryside – with over 40 rides and attractions plus a huge variety of animals, it’s an action-packed adventure for everyone! Photograph is taken by Andrea Sarlo (andreasarlo.com) and features Madison & Macie Parker during their visit at Easter!

Families magazine is all you need to make the most of the summer holidays (apart from perhaps two weeks somewhere nice and hot and relaxing!). We have a section specifically on classes for babies and pre-schoolers - we know lots of classes and toddler groups stop in the holidays so we’ve given you a great selection that are running through the summer. The What’s on section is packed with things to do - all sorts of workshops for children - sports, holiday camps, cooking, crafts and more plus loads of family days out, fetes and fairs and our Summer Boredom busters feature gives you even more ideas to keep everyone happy in the holidays!

THE NEW GENERATION OF WEEKEND DRAMA SCHOOLS FOR AGES 4 TO 18

I WANTED TO GET BACK TO BASICS CHILDREN GETTING INVOLVED INPERFORMING & BOOSTING THEIR

CONFIDENCE THROUGH DRAMAIn 2007 I founded my Academy of Performing Arts to

re-create for new generations of children the happy times I experienced at the drama school I attended as a child.

Since that time, many children have attended PQA classes in Comedy & Drama, Film & Television and Musical Theatre. At PQA they learn skills that are applicable not just to a career in performing arts but in

everyday life too. It builds confi dence by the bucket load, creates bonds, teaches respect, and even how to listen. At PQA children from the age of 4 to 18 years old can learn these skills in a safe, fun environment.

PQA Guildford is enrolling now at St. Catherines, Bramley, Guildford GU5 0DF

Academies run on Saturdays from 10am until 1pm

To enrol your child and further information,Please visit us at www.pqacademy.com or call us now on 084567 32022

Sword in the Stone Workshop at Hatchlands Park

Grass cuttings, dried leaves, twigs and vegetable peelings are just some of the ingredients that can go into a compost bin or heap to make peat-free compost – ideal to use in potting or planting in your garden or allotment.

Getting started is easy. All you need is a compost bin or a small space in the garden to create a heap. Then just follow our easy guide to creating your own supply of natural food for your garden.Get composting today – for a greener tomorrow.

Why compost?Compost is a natural, nutrient-rich food product for your garden. It will help improve soil structure and maintain moisture levels, while helping to suppress plant disease. It will have everything your plants need including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and will help buffer soils that are very acidic or alkaline. Compost improves your soil’s condition and your plants and flowers will love it!

Home-made compost is natural and peat-free, which means it’s good for the environment outside your garden too. It reduces the need to buy peat products, which have been commercially sourced and extracted from peat bogs, resulting in the release of the carbon stored in them.

A step-by-step guide1. Find the right site. Ideally site your

bin or heap on bare soil. If space is limited, put your bin on concrete, tarmac or patio slabs, but make sure there’s a layer of soil or existing compost on the bottom so garden creatures can colonise.

2. Add the right ingredients. You will need a mixture of green and browns. Fill your kitchen caddy with the right ingredients such as tea bags, taking care not to compost cooked food, meat or fish.

3. Fill it up. Regularly empty your kitchen caddy and your garden waste into your bin or heap. Remember, a 50/50 mix of greens and browns is the perfect recipe for good compost.

4. Wait a while. Keep adding to your bin or heap and after 9-12 months the ingredients you have put in should have turned into a crumbly dark brown, earthy smelling material inside the bottom part of the bin or heap.

5. Collect the compost. Simply lift the bin off the compost or open the hatch at the bottom and scoop out the fresh compost. Don’t worry if your compost looks a little lumpy with twigs and bits of eggshells – this is perfectly normal. If preferred, return any material not quite ready back into your bin or heap. If you have built your own, simply rake out the ready compost.

6. Use it. Watch your garden bloom. Your compost can be used for all types of planting needs – mix with soil to replenish pots, dig in to enrich flowerbeds and vegetable patches, use as a mulch to help keep moisture in the soil or use it to feed your lawn.

Whether you’re a keen gardener or just want to choose the greenest, most natural way to deal with your food and garden waste, composting is the perfect solution.

Get composting

Involve your children too

every school-aged child knows about reduce, reuse and recycle. Composting is a form of recycling you can do at home and

reduces the amount of daily rubbish going into your kitchen bin.
