SILVER SERVICE Cosy Club in Salisbury is participating in a day of fun and free activities for older people on 1 October by offering free teas. Manager Stuart Trent explains, “Silver Sunday, which is part of a nationwide campaign, is a celebration of the older generation, and value and knowledge they contribute to our communities. “There is a large proportion of elderly
people living in Salisbury and we also want to offer them a place to come, feel comfortable, socialise and potentially meet new people or make new friends.” The New Street café will also be donating 25p from every cake sold on this day to the Sir Simon Milton Foundation, the charity behind this fundraising idea.

Regent gets spirited
OF ALL THE GIN JOINTS There’s a new joint in town, inspired by American speakeasies and old school London lounges, but done the Salisbury way. The Liquor Club can be found in the stylish New Street menswear shop, Regent. Sommelier, Jamie Lingham, who will manage the day to day running of the Liquor Club, explains, “The Liquor Club is a new department, designed with class in mind and to expand the Regent lifestyle. I was a sommelier for two years at Chewton Glen Hotel and Spa in Bournemouth, and most of the drinks here were chosen by me. This means we are able to advise on quality, value for money and give real insight into true quality.” The Liquor Club will stock a collection of niche gins and whiskies, as well as organic red and white wines, and will also be holding a series of tasting events.
