Wellness for 25 years This month marks a major milestone for Moddershall Oaks as the award-winning spa and wellness retreat celebrates 25 years in business. What began as a family-owned vision in Staffordshire has grown into a multi-million-pound destination. Set within 72 acres of private woodland and lakeside surroundings, Moddershall Oaks has evolved from a singlebuilding family home into a diversified luxury retreat, delivering spa days, indulgent stays, wellness treatments, fitness programmes, curated retreats and large-scale events. More than 100,000 guests visit annually, supported by a team of more than 140 employees. In its anniversary year, the retreat has unveiled its most ambitious development yet, the architect-designed Woodland Pods, offering luxury and nature-rooted stays. With continued investment in new wellness modalities and infrastructure, Moddershall Oaks remains at the forefront of UK wellness tourism. Director Penny Weston says, “Reaching 25 years is incredibly meaningful for our family and team. Our mission has always been to help people feel better in mind and body.” Discover: moddershalloaks.com COLOUR OF THE YEAR Pantone, the global colour authority and provider of professional colour language standards and digital solutions for the design community, today introduced PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a billowy white imbued with a feeling of serenity as the Pantone Colour of the Year selection for 2026.

The company specialises in writing, formatting and framing people’s brightest days, such as weddings, transforming them into written stories that can be displayed as lasting art pieces. The team was inspired by the idea that words can capture what photographs cannot. The launch coincides with the campaign Write It Down, rooted in founder Sharon Hadley-Ford’s personal experience of caring for a parent with dementia and witnessing how easily stories are lost when they are not recorded. In support of Alzheimer’s Research UK, 10 per cent of every sale will be donated via Work for Good. Rather than replacing photography or film, Line & Verse offers storytelling as a complementary keepsake, capturing voices, relationships and emotions. Alongside wedding stories, the service also creates proposals, vows and speeches. Discover: lineandverse.co.uk unsplash.com/@anitaaustvika LATEST NEWS 7
