The Woodstock Experience Multimedia Boxset was actually released in 2009, to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the festival, but we must have missed it then.

The set is an official product, created with the assistance of Woodstock Executive Producer Michael Lang and was published as a signed limited edition of only 1,000 copies. Supplied in a handmade case, it consists of an authorised history by 60 musicians, staff and audience members, illustrated by Woodstock's official photographer, Henry Diltz, unseen photography of Dan Garson, a 7" vinyl record and a fine art print by Peter Max and an authentic Woodstock ticket.

Amazon and Paul Smith both have two copies each in stock, priced £395.

Jack Rug

There are undoubtedly other Union Jack rugs out there, but the Jack Rug from the Big Rug Store is just that little bit more stylish.

Rather than the usual view of the flag, here just a corner detail is used, and the stripes aren’t entirely straight, giving the impression of a flag blowing in the breeze. It is made from 100% wool and is available in a choice of sizes; 120 x 180 cm, 150 x 240 cm or 180 x 270 cm.

Prices range from £259.00 to £519.00. Buy it online at the Big Rug Store.

For sale: 1960s midcentury four-bedroomed house in Bishop’s Stortford, Herts

It's a house that looks better on the inside than out, at least, according to the images we've seen – but this 1960s midcentury four-bedroomed house in Bishop's Stortford, Herts is certainly architecturally important and of course, on the market right now.

It's lack of striking exterior is actually down to the design. The work of Cambridge-based practice Lyster, Grillet & Harding in the late 1960s, this single-storey house is situated on an elevated site, with a large garage / storage space at street level and a designer set of stairs with an overhead canopy, taking you to the terrace, the gardens and the main house.
