​LADIES WINTER WONDERLAND

Willow Wood have got a fabulous way to start the festive season in style – a ladies only Winter Wonderland Lunch. Held at Smokies Park Hotel on Thursday 24 November, this sparkling afternoon begins at 11.30am with a glass of Prosecco followed by a gin tasting before a delicious afternoon tea with even more fizz!

Mark Llewellin, vice-chair of the Board of Trustees and a well-loved local celebrity, will be hosting the Winter Wonderland afternoon and said: “It will be sparkles all the way with cabaret from the effervescent Belinda Scandal who entertained us so well at our Strictly Dance earlier this year. The audience absolutely loved her, and we’re anticipating another scintillating set!”

Mark is a very well-known after-dinner speaker, master of ceremonies and radio presenter, who entertains many different groups in his own inimitable style. The ladies present can expect a number of his highly amusing tales along with some fun and games.

In addition, there’s a fashion show from Be You Be Beautiful and the chance to browse and buy from a number of stalls including bespoke jewellery, skin care, make up, ladies accessories, luxury wax melts and candles and, of course, Willow Wood’s very own gin which is available in a four berry infusion in addition to the ever-popular traditional London Dry style. All this makes it the ideal opportunity to purchase Christmas gifts or just to treat yourself.

“If you’re in business, the Winter Wonderland is an ideal way to thank clients, customers or colleagues – or just join us and enjoy an indulgent pre-Christmas afternoon with friends.” said Mark. “And if you don’t know what to buy for those ladies who have everything, why not gift them an early Christmas present with a ticket to this afternoon of fun, fizz and more. At just £34.50 per head it’s great value – and will be something they’re sure to enjoy.”

Tickets are available to buy online – just go to willowwood.org.uk.Please don’t leave it too late to book your place though, there are only a limited number of tickets.
