Experiences.co.uk launches gifts An exciting new range of gifts for bridesmaids and groomsmen has been launched by Experiences.co.uk that are a great way of saying thank you. They are quirky gifts with a difference, designed for adventurous, fun-seeking individuals. Imran Malek, corporate sales manager at Experiences.co.uk, tells us: “Bridesmaids and groomsmen play a vitally important role at weddings, providing much-needed support on the big day and beforehand, so it’s only fitting they be thanked for their hard work.” Imran adds, “Some people can find it a challenge to choose a gift they will truly treasure, and that will provide many happy memories, which is why we’ve launched even more amazing experiences ideal for bridesmaids and groomsmen in time for this summer’s wedding season.” Among the new gifts for groomsmen is the sporty-based activity of an 18-hole round of golf at The Oxfordshire Golf Hotel and Spa. experiences.co.uk BUCKS & OXON LOCAL BUSINESSES TAKE TOP SPOT IN 2026 MUDDY STILETTOS AWARDS Now in their 13th year, the 2026 Muddy Stilettos Regional Awards included local businesses winning the coveted lifestyle crowns across the Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire regions.

This idyllic location with sweeping views, coupled with sprawling gardens and a spacious outdoor terrace, sets the stage for spectacular outdoor countryside weddings. The new outdoor ceremony space encompasses the rear lawn, which opens up to the stunning valley beyond, creating a scenic backdrop for big-day photography. An impressive long aisle runs from the inn itself out across the lawn, taking in the far-reaching countryside views. Ceremonies for up to 60 guests can be held here year-round, weather permitting, although from April until September is when the valley is at its best. The covered terrace at The Feathered Nest offers a licensed back-up plan for a drizzly day, in keeping with the al fresco feel. There are four individually styled en-suite guest rooms and a delightful adjoining one-bedroom cottage. With an additional eight guest rooms planned for the future, The Feathered Nest continues to grow as a destination to be enjoyed for weddings and occasions. thefeatherednestinn.co.uk instagram.com/nickjeremicproductions LATEST NEWS 11
