Christmas is all around us already...and thoughts are turning to gifts, food and fun to be had over the festive period.

The County Press is publishing its annual guide to shopping, eating and merry making in two weeks' time.

There will be information on making the perfect Christmas dinner, with recipes including vegan Christmas meals and mince pies, selecting the most sparkling tree and decorations, sponsored by the Needles and their grotto, as well as a shop-local section.

We will also be looking at getting your home ready for Christmas, sharing news about the Queen's speech and Christmas traditions as well as including a pets' Christmas section.

And look out for a great Win Your Christmas competition for a whole host of festive goodies

It is a great platform for businesses to advertise their Christmas offers.

There is still time to advertise – contact Zoe on 01983 259030 or e-mail zoeb@localiq.co.uk
