Welcome to our new Saturday magazine, It’s The Weekend.

Every week, we’re aiming to feature what people across Gwent are doing - from home baking and DIY to shopping, gardening and fun ideas for the family.

Our new feature series, The Great Outdoors, will take a look at how we are enjoying the beautiful countryside on our doorsteps.

Our food and drink pages will feature the great produce here in Gwent and what we can do with it. Our guest chefs and cooks will give you fantastic ideas for dishes you can recreate at home, including budget recipes and dishes for vegetarians and vegans.

The Project features ideas for DIY, needlework and crafting, with a step-by-step guide to creating something for yourselves.

Our new garden guru Rob Williams will answer your gardening questions - and we’ll be featuring ideas for your plot.

Alongside our family fun features, we’ll also have guest columnists taking a sideways look at being a dad, grandparent, godmother and teenager.

We’ll also be featuring some great giveaways.

And we’ll be lifting the lid on how Gwent people spend their time at the weekend - beginning with today’s in-depth look at Newport’s baseball players.

It’s all part of bringing you a bigger and better Argus, and we hope you’ll make it a regular and enjoyable part of your weekend.
