Don’t need the excitement?

If your idea of a great night out revolves around good food and good company, why not join us at the start of our gastronomic journey around the globe. Yes, Willow Wood is embarking on a Foods around the World Tour – without leaving our own area.

Every second month we’ll be sampling a different country’s cuisine, and the first stop on our culinary cruise will be for a delicious Italian meal at the Ashton-based San Rocco on Thursday 22 February.

Alternatively, how about a Cocktail Masterclass in the sophisticated setting of the Milan Bar in Lees on Friday 2 February? Learn how to make three delicious cocktails – and drink them of course! With pizza included in the price it’s a great idea for a date night, a girlie evening, or just to celebrate the end of Dry January.

Last year we held a Coronation Street afternoon tea and a Panto afternoon tea at the Daisy Nook Garden Centre. These proved to be so popular that on Thursday 26 April we’re holding a Crimes and Cons afternoon tea. Again, Mark Llewellin will be hosting in his own inimitable style, telling tales of conmen and criminals from the turn of the century. There’s also an evening with here at Willow Wood on 22 March when he’ll be sharing tales from his wide and varied career.

If you’re interested in any of these social occasions please contact Elaine on 0161 330 7788 or elaine.mcconnell@willowwood.org.uk.
