Editor loves Hosting only a select number of weddings each year, the historic estate Stonor Park, set in the heart of the Chilterns near Henley-on-Thames, is one of the UK’s most distinctive wedding destinations, where heritage, landscape and refined celebration come together. Nestled within 250 acres of sweeping parkland, historic gardens and deer parkland, the estate sits on the site of an ancient Neolithic stone circle and offers visitors a landscape rich in history and natural beauty. Alongside tours of the historic house and gardens, the estate is home to the popular adventure playground Tumblestone Hollow, woodland trails, and a restored WWII air raid shelter. Walking routes also connect with long-distance paths, including the Chiltern Way and Shakespeare’s Way. stonor.com NEWBIE LAUNCHED CHILDREN’S FOOTWEAR COLLECTION WITH SWEDISH BRAND KAVAT Scandinavian children’s wear and lifestyle brand Newbie partnered with Swedish heritage footwear brand Kavat, founded in 1945, to launch a limited collection of premium leather children’s shoes.
