Week 5: What's On This Week?

This week's theme is Worth the Drive!

What's the best place you've visited that's within around an hour (or a little more) from Kidlington?

It could be an attraction, a village, a country park, a farm, a play area or somewhere completely unexpected.

We'd love to build a list of brilliant day trips!

Week 4: What's On This Week? 🌳

We're halfway through the summer holidays! 🎉

This week's theme is Hidden Gems & Great Days Out!

Have you stumbled across an amazing park, woodland walk, viewpoint, playground, nature reserve or attraction that more people should know about?

Whether it's somewhere local or worth a short drive, we'd love you to share your favourite places to explore with the family and help people find new places to discover!

When latte goes to LATTE and still no one appears 🤷‍♀️

After five incredible years, we’ve made the difficult decision to put Stanley’s up for sale.

The most important thing we want everyone to know is Stanley’s is NOT closing. Selling a business can take many months, so it’s very much business as usual while we continue to own and run the shop.

This hasn’t been an easy decision. We absolutely love Stanley’s and are so proud of everything we’ve built together with our amazing team, customers and community over the last five years.

Thank you for your continued support. It means more to us than you’ll ever know, and we look forward to welcoming you into Stanley’s until the sale is complete.

With love,

Ali & Jemma

They were following in the family footsteps 🍬

Week 2 – What's On This Week? ☀️

One week down already! We hope everyone's settled into the summer holidays.

This week's theme: Indoor & Outdoor Activities

With the weather always keeping us guessing, we'd love recommendations for both!

☀️ Best parks, walks, splash parks, beaches or outdoor adventures.
🌧️ Museums, soft play, libraries, craft sessions, bowling, cinemas or anywhere that's perfect for a rainy day.

Community groups and local organisations are also welcome to share family-friendly events happening this week.

Let's help each other with lots of ideas!
