Health and lifestyle brand S3LF took note of this and wanted to allow people to start afresh with their fitness and wellbeing and created The Renew programme. This is a four-week fitness experience based at the Georgian wedding venue, Wootton Hall in Lincolnshire. Founder Jess Neary knew the three weekly sessions, online coaching and support was an opportunity that clients would be excited about.  She says, “Getting a workout away from the hustle and bustle in the most tranquil of settings, whilst being supported every step of the way is perfect for those who are ready to focus on their health.” The Renew programme will have its next intake in January, 2021 – it will also be hosting half-day retreats to close 2020 in style.  Find out more: www.s3lf.co.uk/renew A PASSION FOR FASHION Located in Lutterworth south Leicestershire, Maisie Darling specialises in British bridal designers and has a new 2021 collection from Alan Hannah Bridalwear arriving in early October!
