We don’t know many ‘girls around town’ out there who need an excuse to shop but how’s this for a little encouragement?

gracegentle new interiorOn Wednesday 19 March, from 6pm to 9pm, Denise Starkey is hosting an exclusive shopping evening at Gracegentle, 25a Castlegate in Newark. Enjoy a glass of fizz, browse for beautiful gifts and support a local charity while you do so – how can you possibly say no?!

There’ll be greetings cards by Caroline Greene on sale too, as well as a free gift bag for everyone who attends.

Both Denise and Caroline will be donating a percentage of sales on the evening to Newark Women’s Aid and the proceeds of a raffle will also be donated to this very worthy cause.

With Mothering Sunday on 30 March, the timing couldn’t be better – treat your mum (and yourself!) to something gorgeous from Gracegentle and enjoy a fun night out too…

And as an extra treat – why not take advantage of a special two-for-one offer at Danube Restaurant, 25 Castlegate? Valid only on the evening of Wednesday 19 March – places are limited so book in advance on 01636 610661.

greaseLast Friday’s sing-along screening of Grease at Newark’s Palace Theatre was a huge success – a packed house, plenty of Pink Ladies, lots of singing along and even more dancing. There’s no doubt every member of the audience was having a ball!

And we’ve just found out that the event raised a whopping £2027.90 for Jo Lister’s Arctic Challenge in aid of Beaumond House Community Hospice.

Well done to everyone involved in the event and good luck to Jo, whose 120-kilometre trek across the Arctic is now just days away…
