The Sports Launch

Pounce Padel

Female-founded and designed in Edinburgh, Pounce Padel is a new racket brand created in response to the lack of female-focused equipment in a game where women make up 40% of players. As padel continues its rapid rise as the UK’s fastest-growing sport, Pounce Padel enters the market with high-quality designs engineered specifically with women’s needs in mind. Following a sold-out soft launch, the debut rackets are now available in three chic colourways: Sage Green, Blush Pink and Leopard. Priced at £135, each racket features a 100% carbon frame and 3K carbon weave surface, with a teardrop shape and medium balance for optimum power, stability and manoeuvrability – ideal for aspiring beginners and intermediate players alike.

The Everyday Jewellery

Aya

If you’re looking to refresh your jewellery box without breaking the bank, Aya is one to have on your radar. We’re especially taken with the Olivia collection, which puts a modern spin on classic silhouettes. The bracelet – a contemporary reworking of the tennis style – is handcrafted in 18k gold vermeil and set with an artful mix of round-, emerald- and pear-cut lab-grown white sapphires, totaling around 10 carats and designed to catch the light from every angle. Effortlessly chic and endlessly versatile, it works just as well worn solo as it does stacked with the rest of the collection.

The Knitwear Collection

Navygrey

This spring, Navygrey revisits some of its most-loved sellout styles, reworked in a fresh palette of new-season hues developed and perfected in Scotland. The first drop sees the return of the Easy Cardigan and the Easy in caramel; the Easy Cardigan in nymph pink and glacier blue; and the sellout Drape in lait.

As always, each piece is crafted from the finest Scottish-spun wool, chosen for its exceptional softness and longevity. Knitted compactly by British knitwear specialists to create Navygrey’s signature hand feel, every style is 100% British-made – from spinning and knitting to hand-finishing. Timeless, considered and designed to last, these are the kind of wardrobe staples you’ll reach for year after year.

The Country House Staycation

Ember

Planning something truly special? Make sure Ember is on your radar. Nestled on the edge of the picture-perfect Wiltshire village of Upton Scudamore, this countryside retreat is made for memorable get-togethers. When the current owners took it on, the house was in need of serious TLC, sparking a meticulous three-year restoration that blends exceptional craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. The former chapel has been reimagined as a show-stopping dining space – perfect for candlelit suppers beneath mullioned windows and exposed brick – while an indoor pool, gym and games room set the tone for laid-back fun.

The décor strikes the perfect balance between heritage and modernity. Reclaimed oak floors, limestone tiles and restored casement windows nod to the building’s past, while characterful touches come from the owners’ time living in South Africa and Asia. The large sitting rooms, bespoke kitchen, cinema snug and nine bedrooms all look out onto stunning pastoral views, and a fire pit encircled by log stools in the garden is the perfect setting for starlit evenings.

The Conscious Handbag Brand

STOW London

Founded in 2013 by Carol Lovell, STOW London is rooted in a deep respect for craftsmanship. The bags are all made in the brand’s own atelier in Ubrique near Cadiz in southern Spain, a historic centre of luxury leather-making renowned for its artisanal heritage and exceptional quality. Wholly owned by STOW, the atelier underscores the brand’s commitment to transparency, integrity and long-term thinking, and production is intentionally limited, capped at just 5,000 bags a year. This philosophy, known as The Five Thousand Limit, is a deliberate move that prioritises quality over quantity and craftsmanship over scale. Challenging the industry’s obsession with logos and fast growth, STOW champions considered design, time-honoured techniques and the artisans behind each piece, creating bags chosen for how they’re made, not how loudly they announce themselves.

The Must-See Musical

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

Following a sold-out run at the Chichester Festival Theatre, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry has just made its West End debut at the Haymarket Theatre in London. Funny, moving and uplifting, the musical is adapted from Rachel Joyce’s multi-million-selling novel, with a stirring score by chart-topping musician, Passenger.

Harold Fry is an ordinary man whose quiet life is upended by a letter from a long-lost friend, sending him out the front door and onto a remarkable journey. From the tranquil lanes of Devon to the windswept streets of Berwick-upon-Tweed, his walk becomes a pilgrimage of love, redemption and second chances. Along the way, strangers become companions, kindness appears in unexpected places and the road reveals far more than Harold ever imagined. Meanwhile, back home, his wife Maureen embarks on her own journey – one that may yet bring them together again.

Until 18th April. Book here
