Looking to banish the January Blues?

… we think a trip to The Village at Barleylands may help lift the mood and get you ready for new things in 2025!

They say the best way to stay happy at this time of year is as simple as:

  • Gentle exercise
  • Fresh air
  • Eating well
  • Cuddles with your dog
  • Trying something that you’ve never done before

Throw in a little retail therapy and we say The Village is the perfect place to tick all those things off the list. Make use of FREE car parking, bring your four-legged friend for a walk around The Village and get exploring. You might even find a new hobby for 2025!

We will be showcasing more of what is on throughout January, keep an eye on our social pages @thevillageatbarleylands, here’s just some of the things to get you inspired:

  • Get crafting with the support from Craft Arena’s classes and groups, check out the timetable here: https://craftarena.co.uk/classes-and-groups

Once you’ve done all of the above, why not stop for a hot drink and bite to eat at Tiptree Tearoom or the Magic Mushroom? It might be time for a health kick, but everyone deserves a treat, especially in January.
