Ghost Hunts, Sip & Paint, and MORE!
We're trialling a new schedule...
Well, hello there! Happy Sunday. What a beautiful day it has been. If you’re sitting wondering why I’m coming at you so late in the day, you may have missed last week’s memo. This is the first time we’re trialling a Sunday evening newsletter! The idea being that you can grab your diary and plan for the week ahead, while enjoying a relaxing Sunday evening, of course.
I’ve had some great feedback on how this will help you attend even more events, but if we find it works better on a Saturday morning, we may revert. Feel free to send us your comments, and don’t forget to tell me which events you’ll be attending this week.
Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
