In this issue

This month Wiltshire Life celebrates 75 years with a stunning extended anniversary edition. We look back at the year 1946, sharing stories from across the county’s towns and villages, alongside fascinating features from museums, history groups and country estates. We re-visit the very first issue and discover life at the end of World War Two, and how the county has grown and evolved in subsequent years. This October issue includes all our regular features on art, history, events and life in the county. In My Wiltshire we meet BBC Masterchef winner Ping Coombes; Simon Heptinstall reveals the county’s top film locations; We find out about the creative team behind Fermoie fabrics; Gary Lawrence meets an inspirational football team; we are in conversation with Jennie Shaw, the amazing Bobby Van fundraiser; look at the work of a wildlife hospital and head to the Savernake Forest to discover the benefits of wellbeing in the woods.
