Welcome to the March issue of IN&AROUND!
This month is all about appreciating the wonderful women in our lives! Mother’s Day is around the corner so we’re exploring its history on page 14. International Women’s Day takes place this month too– see how you can join in with the celebrations on page 50!
Foodies are in for a treat this issue with a sneak preview of the celebrity chefs headlining Saturday at Bishop Auckland Food Festival on page 20. In the meantime, make sure you have a go at making our comforting chicken pot pie recipe on page 54.
Flick to our What’s On guide on page 58 to see what’s happening in the area and check inside to see the big names heading to Chester le Street this year. We hope you enjoy the nights getting lighter and join us for our April issue which will be filled with the joys of spring!!
