Chichester-based venue Southend Barns is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The wedding hotspot plans to mark its milestone with a series of celebratory events including a party for past couples where a sculpture created by local artist Kate Viner will be unveiled. Commissioned in honour of the anniversary, this stunning artwork has been designed to represent the bonds of love that a wedding day embodies. Crafted in bronze, it will be located in the gardens of the venue to to be enjoyed by couples and their guests for years to come.

Originally a collection of working farm buildings, Southend Barns was transformed in 2012 and has continued to evolve thanks to the innovative and dynamic approach of its owners, Mariella and William Fleming. From its sensitive renovation using environmentally sustainable materials, which saw the venue receive a Sussex Heritage Trust Award, to more recent additions of a stylish outdoor ceremony area, allotment for the kitchen team and luxury Shepherd's hut accommodation. The team has worked hard to keep Southend Barns as one of the leading wedding venues in the area.

Long may it continue we say, and cheers to the team! Find out more at www.southendbarns.co.uk

Aileen Robertson, Tesco Bank's Head of Savings, has shared ways soon-to-be-wedded couples and newlyweds can build healthy savings habits and step into 2027 feeling more confident about their shared futures! Aileen Robertson, Head of Savings at Tesco Bank, comments: "The start of a new year often feels like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, with people embracing resolutions and looking to turn over a new leaf. But creating new habits can take time as people settle back into their routines, and sometimes those good intentions never quite get off the ground. "If you're trying to stay on top of your finances in 2027, taking small steps now can make that journey much easier. It's important to remember that it's never too late, or too early, to start working towards your goals. Setting them is the first step, whether they're big or small, so think about what you want your money to do for you. From here you can start to work towards your goals, building good savings habits along the way, and see your money grow over time."
