What's on in Layter's Green

Buckinghamshire, England

Layter's Green sits quietly in Buckinghamshire, where the pace of life is measured in tea breaks rather than traffic jams. It might not have a stadium-sized venue list, but that means every local gathering feels like it belongs to you and your neighbours. The village hall usually hosts something warm on a Saturday evening, while community groups find their own rhythm around the green space. We know that finding things to do can sometimes feel like searching for a specific shade of blue in a grey sky. Near Here keeps track of what's coming up so you don't have to waste time clicking through endless lists. Whether it is a local market or a quiet storytelling session, we make sure the details are right here without the fuss.

An evening with Justine Picardie

Join bestselling author Justine Picardie, as she chats about her new book FASHIONING THE CROWN. Published ahead of the centenary of the Queen’s birth, this beautifully illustrated book, featuring over 100 sumptuous images, uncovers the hidden history of the Crown and how it survived a tumultuous era and two world wars. From the birth of the house of Windsor in 1917, its leading women – Queen Mary, the Queen Mother, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II – faced the perils of abdication and assassination, revolution and the rise of fascism, the threat of invasion and all-out war. Their sartorial decisions, alongside those of their royal husbands, projected power and perpetuity, diplomacy and defiance. In this cinematic story of espionage and exquisite couture, Justine Picardie reveals the undercover lives of the creators behind the façade – including Hardy Amies, Cecil Beaton, Norman Hartnell and Edward Molyneux – and traces the ways in which visual iconography safeguarded the monarchy, even when their reign seemed to be hanging by a thread. Drawing on original research in the Royal Archives and her own experiences at Balmoral, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, Picardie explores the family feuds and international conflicts that challenged the Crown, and how royal fashion has long been wielded as a weapon.
