National Croissant Day 30th January

This day is dedicated to the buttery, flaky delight that is the crescent shape pastry.
The croissant originated from the Austrian Kipferl, a crescent shaped bread dating back at least to the 13th Century. An Austrian baker, August Zang, opened a bakery in 1839 in Paris. (A Brief History Of The Croissant).
Late in the 19th to early 20th century French bakers adapted the recipe replacing the bread-like dough with laminated, buttery puff pastry.
The tale of the croissant and how it got its shape says that a Austrian baker created the crescent-shaped bread to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, mirroring the crescent moon of the Turkish flag.
How do we celebrate National Croissant Day? Here are a few ideas. Start your day with a freshly baked croissant. Organise a croissant tasting party or experiment with croissant inspired dishes.

The Great Big Hearing Test

This event has been created by Boots Hearing care to help the nation hear better in 2026 and beyond. This is the second year of this event which is to encourage people across the UK who are experiencing symptoms of hearing loss to take action and book a free hearing test.

The Great Big Hearing Test takes place throughout the month of January. This follows research that shows family gatherings are the key driver for those with hearing loss to get it checked.
According to the NHS website hearing loss is common particularly as you get older. The NHS recommends you see your GP if you are having problems with your hearing. Common signs of hearing loss are difficulty hearing other people clearly and misunderstanding what they say. Also needing to ask people to repeat themselves, listening to music or the TV with a volume higher than other people need, difficulty hearing on the phone, finding it hard to keep up with a conversation. It can also make you feel tired or stressed from having to concentrate while listening.

Paget’s Awareness Day 11th January

Paget’s disease was named after Sir James Paget who first described the disease in 1877. It is a chronic bone disorder characterised by the abnormal enlargement and weakening of bones, often leading to pain and deformities.
Paget’s disease primarily affects the bones, disrupting the normal process of bone remodelling, where old bone is replaced by new bone tissue. This condition can lead to bones becoming fragile and misshapen, commonly affecting the pelvis, skull, spine, and the long bones of the arms and legs. (health direct).
It's a common condition in the UK particularly in older people. It’s rare in people under 50 years of age. (NHS)
Symptoms can include bone pain, deformities, joint pain and neurological issues if the skull or spine is affected. There are medications called Bisphosphonates that can help strengthen bone and reduce pain. Surgery may also be needed if there are severe deformities.
Paget’s Awareness Day aims to educate the public about the disease as early diagnosis and effective management of this condition is vital. The day is also to highlight the ongoing efforts to improve lives of people affected by Paget’s disease through research and support (paget.org.uk).
