Issue one of nearfield celebrates new beginnings across the region. We get excited about the reopening of Bristol Beacon, meet the hardy dippers revelling in the cold waters of the restored Cleveland Pools, find out what the Bristol Old Vic's new artistic director has planned; and explore the vintage shops, upcycling workshops, and reclamation yards breathing fresh life into old. We also keep readers moving through winter with a guide to indoor and outdoor activities, and meet the Icebreakers in our first community takeover. Plus we round up all the best events, experiences, and food and drink in the southwest this winter.

KNOW<br />
Cacao-based products<br />
like dark chocolate and<br />
cacao nibs are abundant<br />
in essential minerals and<br />
antioxidants, which can<br />
help support heart health<br />
and prevent other illnesses. It<br />
can also boost serotonin levels,<br />
contributing to improved mood.<br />
Raw organic cacao contains<br />
160mg of calcium per 100g,<br />
compared to 125mg per<br />
100ml in cow’s milk. Time<br />
to swap the flat white for<br />
a couple of squares of<br />
dairy-free raw chocolate?<br />
Cacao is a good<br />

vegan diet.<br />

and most natural<br />
form of chocolate.<br />

cacao beans, cocoa is<br />
processed in a way that<br />
alters its health benefits.<br />
