Have you discovered the 's yet? Nestled opposite the river down in Donnington Village it is a true gem.

Quirky artwork, a blazing log burner and cosy ambience await you, but the award winning rosette standard food is a real treat.

With a gorgeous wine list and local beers to wash it all down, a trip to The Hartley Arms is a must. There is also an Honesty Cafe in the courtyard if you just want to drop in for a coffee after a weekend walk.

✨Are you pregnant? 🤰Or know someone who is? ✨

Local mums told Mumee Matters that the fourth trimester is the part where they struggled the most and had the least support. It seems there’s lots of help around pregnancy and birth but not much about life after birth. Mumee Matters and a host of other experts at The Parent Village are here to help!

So…

➡️The next Pregnancy Workshop is on Saturday 10th February. It’s suitable for anyone from 20 weeks pregnant and onwards and helps you understand life after birth. See the schedule in the photos below.

⏰ 9am-3pm
📍Buick Mackane, Newbury
👛 £25

Attending will be:
⭐️ A Pregnancy and Birth Expert, Daisy, from Calm Arrivals
⭐️An Educational Psychologist, Abby
⭐️A Breastfeeding Counsellor, Kate
⭐️A child play expert, Lizzie, from Boogiemites
⭐️A local business owner dedicated to organising your home during your maternal life, Tess
⭐️A local baby massage specialist and reflexologist, Sarah
⭐️A local Mum and Parent Village Founder, Zara

And last but definitely not least:
⭐️An NHS RBH midwife for 1-1 discussions
