EDITOR’S LETTER
s the days grow shorter and the nights turn to frost there are so many things to look forward to in the run up to Christmas. Hibernating with your favourite book in front of a warm fire with a glass of hot toddy by your side. Writing or texting friends you have not seen for a while and catching up, planning the presents you are going to buy for family and loved ones, checking out the best festive events in Surrey, taking in a great new play at the theatre, organising a slap up Christmas party or all of the above.

At Surrey Magazine we celebrate luxury at its best with a tour of the Cotswolds in the new Bentley GT Continental, a masterpiece of British engineering, offering plenty of sleek comfort and impressive power. This luxury sports car ascends to the pinnacle of perfection.
You may have heard that many companies like Virgin Galactic and SpaceX will soon be offering trips out to space, so we imagine what this may look like from a fashion perspective. In space no one can hear you scream, but they can spot a fashion “faux pas” from Mars.
Back from space we escape to the New Forest for a wonderful relaxing break at the Lime Wood hotel, fine dining at the Sorrel - Steve Drakes restaurant in Dorking, and a lovely Surrey day out at Denbies Wine Estate with a tour and wine tasting.
Our travel piece this issue takes you to Hong Kong for adventure and excitement during the Chinese New Year, full of fireworks, skyscrapers, bars and beaches. Hong Kong is a marvellous fusion of modern architecture and traditional culture that is reflected in its cuisine, lifestyle and shopping, a jewel in the South China Sea.
We also cast an appreciative eye over the Mariette superyacht and talk to its captain about life on the open seas and running such a magnificent luxury craft.
Check out our latest theatre guide for the enticing entertainment in the Surrey area, including the wonderful Christmas Panto production of Cinderella at the Yvonne Arnaud. Our celebrity profile looks at rising acting talent Jenna Coleman and we present our special gift guide from furnishings to burnished gold jewellery and gifts for all the family.
We pick out many of the best events, entertainment, shopping and festive events so huddle up on the sofa and flip though some of the great ideas in Surrey Magazine. Finally test out our unique Christmas cocktails whilst perusing our favourite mechanical marvels available from exciting traditional watch makers.
Whatever you do this Christmas get out there and experiment with new things, create different experiences and build some lasting memories with friends and family!
