This winter season, transform your home into a haven of style and warmth with help from Shackletons Fox Valley.

For our festive edition, we worked with Shackleton's manager Louise to create an opening feature to introduce the new concept store to Aroundtown readers.

It's a beautiful two-storey showroom filled with an exclusive collection of furniture, home decor and gifts from Gallery Designs.

There's also a coffee lounge on the first floor that serves everything from light lunches to prosecco afternoon teas.

Certainly a must-visit to browse the displays and plan your next home decor project for 2026!

For almost a thousand years, St John the Baptist Church in Pen*stone has stood at the centre of village life, weathering storms, witnessing history, and providing a gathering place for generations.
However, the roof that has sheltered so many is now in urgent need of repair - and they need the public's help to raise the £75,000 to repair it.

Find out how you can get involved, as well as some of the building's interesting history, here

These are all organised and manned by volunteers from organisations such as Maltby and Rother Valley Lions, Pen*stone Round Table (1094) and Rotherham Round Table 24

The elves will have their buckets at the ready for cash donations which will help fund community projects in 2026.
