It’s that time of the year again! How does Christmas manage to sneak up on us so quickly every year? Don’t worry, we’re getting in kind of early, throwing a little party to get you into the Christmas spirit, just so that you can stroll right up to Christmas, better prepared than anyone you know.
There will be homemade delicacies, non alcoholic punch (we cater for all dietary requirements),along with the famous housemade sangria and wine by donation.
Take the stress out of your gift shopping by doing so with a glass of sangria in hand.You don't even need to stress about wrapping because our local artists, Ruby MacKinnon and Paul Van Wessam have got you covered! They will illustrate and pun-ify your gifts without a second thought. Surely there's no better way to spend a Thursday evening. If you are still not convinced, there will be door prizes too, to qualify, RSVP using Facebook events here or through Eventbrite here
With love from all of us at Pookipoiga
