HEALING WATERS The Gainsborough Bath Spa has announced a new wellness partnership with innovative Hungarian skincare brand Omorovicza. The collaboration will see five new mineral cure rituals added to the hotel’s Spa Village menu, which already benefits from exclusive access to Bath’s natural thermal springs, celebrated since Roman times for their remarkable wellness properties. In perfect harmony with this, Omorovicza encapsulates the healing minerals of Budapest’s thermal waters by harnessing their curative powers to reach the deepest layers of the skin. The new, powerful mineral-based treatments boast a range of benefits that stem from the healing properties of the thermal waters, such as assisting with inflammation, detoxifying the body and unlocking youthful vitality. The mineral cure rituals will range from full body massages and mineral mud scrubs to revitalising and hydrating facials. The new Omorovicza Mineral Cure Ritual Treatments are available to book at The Gainsborough Bath Spa now for both day and overnight guests, starting from £175.

Sober guests said they were often left feeling uncomfortable sipping a soft drink, as 35 per cent of respondents said they’re questioned about it. In response to the lack of non-alcoholic options available at venues, The Gilchrist Collection has partnered with star barman Merlin Griffiths from Channel 4’s First Dates to add to the venues’ existing menu, providing sober guests with three new grown-up and celebration-worthy options. Each recipe is perfectly suited to various key moments during the celebrations. Samantha says, “Rather than mimic existing cocktails or simply mix together some fruit juices, each of the new drinks has been designed to give the happy couple and their guests the chance to experience all the wonderful flavours a cocktail has, but without the alcohol.
