Far from being a sleepy village, there are always plenty of things to do in Stanford. You could join the local Quiz night, aptly named “Think and Drink” at the Stanford Art Cafe on Thursday 2 July. The popular Paprika restaurant has re-opened under new management, and has exciting new menus for breakfast, lunch and supper.

Or you could explore your creative side, and join in on a Life Drawing class, run by Nikki Miles every Monday evening from 6 - 8pm at Stanford Galleries.

The library is buzzing, with loads of activities for the children during the holidays - and while they’re busying themselves there, pop into the newly opened Beauty Spot for a treatment.
