It’s been another gorgeous week in sunny ol’ Ramsgate, and once again I’ve been inundated with wonderful events to share with you all. As we’re now in our sixth week of running (and it turns out you’re all quite into it), George and I thought we’d celebrate with an in-person event. That’s right, we want to connect with you in real life.
Join us on Tue 29 Jul at Ramsgate Space for a celebration of all things Ramsgate, meet the Don’t Miss team and hang out with other locals. Find out more and sign up for your ticket here. Can’t wait to see you all there!
Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
