Aseer Summer Season 2025: Catch sports, shops and singers
The summer festival takes place in a spectacular setting. Summer holidays don't have to mean leaving the Middle East. Saudi Arabia's Saudi Seasons continues with the Aseer Summer Season 2025, which is filled with exciting events. Running until 1 September, it includes food stalls, pop-up shops and entertainment. Aseer Summer Season 2025 takes place in Aseer, Saudi Arabia, which boasts mountains, forests and, most importantly, cooler temperatures. Now, these lush landscapes are set to get more exciting, thanks to a range of family-friendly events. The programme features over 600 curated experiences spread across six distinct destinations, each designed to highlight Aseer's rich heritage, creative spirit, and breathtaking landscapes. Some of the highlights of Aseer Summer Season 2025 include Plato, a lively entertainment space for families; Cowboy Town, which brings a taste of the Wild West to the Saudi highlands; and Rakayb, a tranquil park lined with fruit trees. Cultural highlights like Al-Muftaha Village, Joud Camp, and The Summer Gathering host performances, workshops, and interactive events that pay tribute to Aseer's traditions. As part of Saudi Arabia's 'Colour Your Summer' campaign, the season invites travellers to explore the region's cooler mountain climate, where temperatures hover between 15 and 25°C, offering a refreshing contrast to the rest of the Kingdom. Aseer is located in the province of Aseer, which is a two-hour flight from Riyadh. If you're planning to extend your trip, make sure you visit Aseer's heritage sites: Rijal Almaa village, Jaresh archaeological site, and the Heritage House in Al Namas. Saudi Arabia's cultural calendar is filled with seasons, from Riyadh Season to Jeddah Events. Riyadh Season is scheduled to return in the winter, and Jeddah Season 2025 is currently running.

Newport restaurant specialising in Sri Lankan cuisine given food hygiene rating
A Newport restaurant specialising in Sri Lankan cuisine has been given a good food hygiene rating. Heritage House on Upper Dock Street was awarded a four-star rating, indicating an overall 'good' score by the Food Standards Agency. The rating followed an inspection on December 12, 2024. The restaurant opened in September last year, replacing Granchies Caribbean Takeaway. The inspection assessed three areas: food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and the management of food safety. Hygienic handling of food, including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling, and storage, was rated 'very good.' Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, including layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities, and pest control, were rated 'good.' However, the management of food safety was rated as 'generally satisfactory.' The Food Standards Agency defines the management of food safety as "the system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat, evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future." The Food Hygiene Rating Act 2013 requires all food businesses in Wales to display their hygiene ratings prominently. Inspections are carried out by local authority officers, and ratings range from zero, meaning urgent improvement is necessary, to five, meaning standards are excellent. Businesses have the right to appeal against ratings. Each inspection is carried out under three categories: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and the management of food safety. Heritage House have been contacted for comment.
