🧚♀️Fairy Garden Crafternoon: Personalise your own Fairy - Shortstown
Thursday 29 August 2024
🧚♀️Series of magical afternoons at the cafe during Summer Holidays creating Fairy Garden accessories. We had so much fun creating A Fairy Garden during May Half Term so we thought to bring a continuation to it.
😀NO NEED TO BOOK JUST TURN UP!
🌸WHAT WILL YOU CREATE?
At every workshop we will be creating an accessory to go to Fairy Garden you have created or will create in the future. During "Personalise Your Own Fairy" workshop kids will: - get creative while decorating/styling a fairy - learn more about the fairies - be encouraged to go outside - will have a fairy to take home.
💷COST TO COVER MATERIALS
We wanted to make this workshop accessible to everyone, therefore we are only charging to cover the cost of materials.
🍶WHY NOT TRY ONE OF THE MILSHAKES OR ICE COLD DRINK?
Please be mindful in supporting us if you can and purchasing a drink for yourself.

🌳 FREE ROXTON MAZE AT ROXTON GARDEN CENTRE
Thursday 29 August 2024
Time: 09:00 - 17:00
👀 A FREE A- MAZ-ING HIDDEN GEM IN BEDFORDSHIRE!
💥WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE BLOG...
So this maze is free to go too, kids & adults will love it...... if you can find it that is!😁
🤔SO WHERE IS IT?
This FREE MAZE is located at the wonderful Roxton Garden Centre in Bedfordshire. When you enter the car park you will not see any signposts for it. As you go in the car park facing the garden centre turn right, then turn left as if you are heading for a dead end, it may seem like you are heading for the delivery entrance but there you will see trees on your right and a sign in front of you 'Roxton Maze'.
The maze is located next to the garden centre in a spacious field with a few benches to sit on. At the moment it is being trimmed back due to some hanging branches, we had to duck and dive a few times but it added to all the fun we had.
♿️ IS THE MAZE SUITABLE FOR PUSHCHAIRS OR WHEELCHAIRS?
I would say it is NOT suitable as there are branches, some on the floor and hanging low, some spaces may not be big enough and also the surface may not be suitable in my personal opinion. But the Garden Centre itself is wheelchair friendly.
🔓WHEN IS THE MAZE OPEN?
The Maze is open the same time when the Garden Centre is open. The details are below.
🌺THE GARDEN CENTRE
The garden centre is wheelchair friendly and dog friendly. You can buy things from plants, to clothes, to toys. When we visited on 03/08/24 we saw reduced clothes,suitcases, plants and other various things. So it's definitely worth a look!
☕️THE CAFE
The cafe has hot and cold food and drink options at reasonable prices. There is a kids menu and an indoor & outdoor space with unmbrellas to sit in the sun and relax amongst the outdoor flower section of the Garden Centre. Dogs are allowed but they are not allowed in the main restaurant area. Just ask staff if you are not sure, they will be happy to help.
