We are looking forward to Saturday, welcoming Driftwood Artisan to Designate Venue to celebrate his 10th Anniversary in business. We know how hard that can be! His work will be displayed and music playing so make sure you pop in and have a peek. Steve's work is fabulous, makes you awww, laugh or reminisce.
Don't forget this Saturday from 3pm.
Tom Dibb will be playing in the evening session, all the way from Devon and famous for his campervan live lounge sets.
We are super excited and very grateful he is travelling all this way for this occasion. Don't miss these opportunities to experience something different. :)
