News and Notices
Instagram…tipsy topper
Emma saw this disco ball tree topper and just had to pick it up. Our first attempt at topping the tree didn’t quite meet with our posture requirements though!
After shoving a few more branches inside, and a bit of bending, we did manage to convince it to stay upright 🙂
New Venture
Those who came to the Christmas Social on Friday night will have seen our new business venture, an addition to Emma’s photography business of a photobooth.
Thank you to everyone who used it for being our guinea pigs, if you have any feedback on the experience let us know.
We will send a link to be able to download your images and may even upload a gallery of those happy to have their photos shared.
Over the next few weeks we will be setting this up on Emma’s website along with booking details, but if this is something you are interested in hiring please let us know.
Christmas Afternoon Tea
Our Christmas Afternoon Tea takes place on Sunday 15th December. Doors open 1pm and runs to 4pm.
There is a ‘Christmas Jumper’ theme to the event but it’s not compulsory.
Tickets cost £27.50pp and you can book below or click here to reserve a space for another person. We only have 4 places remaining and bookings close TODAY 8th December!
Blackpool Experience Break

The classes will aim to train you to cover classes and give you the opportunity to earn from something you love.
There will be opportunities to take professional exams and provide private lessons as you develop.
