This week covers a variety of events taking place from a beautiful lantern walk around the lake at Bluewater in honour of BabyLoss Awareness Week, a chance to update your wardrobe at Lush, a super-friendly new networking event courtesy of Office Tribe, a chance to check out the super Schools at Somerhill and two fantastic fireworks displays!
♥ We are half way through Babyloss Awareness Week 2019 which culminates in the Wave of Light on Tuesday 15th October. Bereaved families and their wider circles around the world light a candle at 7pm and leave it burning for an hour to remember each and every baby gone too soon. Kent Sands will be holding a lantern walk around the lake at Bluewater Shopping Centre. It’s a beautiful event with readings, a chance to drop flowers into the lake before joining the Wave of Light at 7pm. All welcome and you’ll find full details of how to join here
♥ Office Tribe, the brilliant co-working space in the heart of town are hosting their first networking event on Wednesday evening. This is a relaxed and friendly group and a great way to meet other people working locally and make new connections. It’s a free event so register your place here and then head to Framptons from 7.30pm
♥ Swap, shop and feel good inside and out. Back by popular demand this Thursday is the Lush Swap Shop evening. Simply drop off any clothes, shoes, accessories or unused beauty products that deserve a new home before the event and then head down on the night and pick up some new preloved items. Happy wardrobe, happy conscience.
♥ The Schools at Somerhill combine three schools on one stunning 150 acre site: Somerhill Pre-Prep for children aged 3-7, Derwent Lodge for girls aged 7-11 and Yardley Court for boys aged 7-13. On Friday 18th October they are throwing open the doors to all of these so you can see classes in action and also the extensive shared facilities on site – book your place online HERE.
