How many months have we been in business?

Oh… just a casual 75 🤠

Or in actual human speak — we started in 2019. And proudly … we’re still here.

Some days it feels like a whirlwind, some days it feels like a spreadsheet, and some days im just singing Shania Twain “Looks like we made it… in my head.

Swipe ➡️ for one photo per year 🫶🏻

What these pics don’t show is the stress, the late nights, the budget stretches, the tiny miracles, the spreadsheets of doom, the existential spirals, the hours gifted by good people, or the fact that we once convinced John Bishop (a vegan) to sell non-vegan pies at a Christmas market. 🤷‍♀️🥧

Or Ricky Tomlinson opening a restaurant in Liverpool.

Or Jamie Carragher telling us exactly what was said in that Istanbul dressing room that sparked the greatest footballing comeback of all time. 🔥

Or the quiet events that didn’t grab headlines but completely mattered.

What they do show is a wee slice of the creativity that keeps us coming back for more.

The mission? Create exceptional events with soul- the kind that deliver for corporates and community. And despite some raised eyebrows in the early days… we’re still doing both.

To our clients, freelancers, staff, funders, partners, and pals:

Thank you for backing us. You’re the strawberry to our lemonade. 🍋✨

We’re evolving (hello, ) but our inbox is always open for brand-led, legacy-building event magic across Scotland and beyond. Our passports have actually been stamped in California, Brussels and Barcelona

🔥 Hot off the grill… DISF Fest, the Dumfries International Street Food Festival, has been nominated for a Scottish Thistle Award! 🏆🌶️

This mighty little festival has always packed a punch, and it continues to get the recognition it deserves after winning Best Small Festival at the Scottish Event Awards earlier in the year. We’re so proud to have played a part in the magic last year. 💫

DISF Fest isn’t just about drool-worthy dumplings or mouthwatering masala (though trust us, there’s plenty of that). It’s powered by a year-round programme that helps people from marginalised communities become fully-fledged food vendors, with training, grant funding, and all the support they need to thrive. 🍲🚀

Built on passion, run on a shoestring, and attended by 5,000 hungry humans every year, this is what community-powered festivals should look like. 🙌

Big love to the incredible volunteer team in Dumfries who make it all happen. This one’s for you. ❤️

Cocktails, conversations, and connections that clicked! 🍸✨
From first sips to lasting impressions, our night at The Alchemist back in March was all about bringing brilliant people together. Laughter flowed, ideas sparked, and partnerships grew — proof that great things happen when you mix business with a splash of fun. 🥂
Here’s to more moments where work and play blend perfectly.

Throwback to the Borders’ biggest biz bash! 💥🍓

Scottish Borders Business Expo 2025 brought BIG energy to the Macdonald Cardrona Hotel — from AI breakthroughs to serious networking wins!
With over 100 brilliant business minds under one roof, we dove into “AI: Actionable Insights 2.0”, tackled tech with confidence, and soaked up wisdom from powerhouses like Selby Cary (Mapify), Mat Norbury (FC Labs), and the legends at South of Scotland Enterprise & CodeBase.💡

Workshops that worked our brains, exhibitors that wowed, and innovation that came in hot — the Expo was nothing short of electric. ⚡

We’d like to thank everyone who took part in making the Expo such a brilliant success!

Big news from Team Strawberry Lemonade…

We’re evolving — not pivoting.

Alongside planning standout events like the Scottish Borders Business Excellence Awards and Invest2Scale, we’re also building something brand new: a tech project we’ve been quietly nurturing behind the scenes.

It’s called SparkStays — and it’s about turning hotel stays into unforgettable celebrations.

Follow along at to see what’s coming.

We’re still delivering bold, beautiful events and taking on exciting new conferences and corporate experiences — so don’t hesitate to get in touch. That part will never change.

And yes, we’re pinching ourselves — because this weekend our founder is off to New York with . It’s real. It’s happening. And we can’t wait to share it with you.
