*NEWS*

Betty Bee’s and Honey Bee's Gifts and Events (our sister business which focusses on workshops, special events and gifts) will be making some changes/improvements over the coming weeks and months.

As a small family business, these changes will take time ⏰ but to start with, we will be opening at the earlier time of 8.30am from Wednesday through to Saturday.

🕰️ From 8.30am - 10am, we will be open for coffees/teas and cakes, eat in or takeaway. During this time we will also be baking, so more will be added to the counter throughout the morning.

🗓️ This will begin this new opening time from this Wednesday (21st August)

Keep a look out for further changes as we negotiate our way through these improvements. 😀

📕 Book Launch Tomorrow 📕

We are honoured and excited to host a book launch for a new, local author Jenny Denning! The book is already getting outstanding reviews 🤩 so why not pop along tomorrow to chat to the author, buy the book if you wish (cash only) or get the book signed!

Review:

"The novel is astonishingly beautiful. A heart-wrenchingly profound and stunningly elegant dissection of the human condition coalescing through the two different genres. Drawing on the poetry, art and wisdom of ages, it’s overwhelmingly immersed in imagery, allusion and bursting with barely restrained passion. It’s really inspired; a beautiful work of art." (C. W, Southampton)

So on Friday 19th July, please do pop along to meet Jenny and find out more about her novel! Copies of the book will be available (cash or bank transfer only)
