It's our first birthday this week - and we want to give YOU a cake to celebrate!

When you buy your copy of the Folkestone and Hythe Express on Wednesday from the participating outlets listed below, you'll get a delicious FREE birthday cupcake while stocks last.

We've teamed up with the Grind n' Bake coffee shop and bakery in Sandgate Road, Folkestone, for this great offer, to thank our readers for being part of our success story.

And that's not the only reason to pick up this week's Express. Our anniversary edition also includes our First Class picture supplement, featuring children from across the area enjoying their first days at primary school.

As always, we'll also be bringing you the best local news, sport and leisure - as well as our ever-popular nostalgia pages - all at the great value price of only 65p.

Here are 10 other reasons your Express is an essential purchase every week:
