The Mad Hatter’s Skating Fairtrade Tea Party

January 30, 2017 4 Comments

If you enjoyed our Halloween and Christmas parties, you’ll be pleased to hear we have an extra party this year – The Mad Hatter’s Skating Fairtrade Tea Party! This will have all your favourite skating games with a Fairtrade twist, the chance to dress up as an Alice in Wonderland character (optional) and an afternoon tea with lots of Fairtrade food. This time we are selling skater’s tickets for £6 including food, or afternoon tea only at £4. You can still spectate for free if you don’t want to join in the afternoon tea, but with a delicious feast of sandwiches, scones, Fairtrade jam and cream, Fairtrade chocolate cakes and biscuits and Fairtrade juice, tea and coffee – can you resist it? You can go to the café for your afternoon tea at any time during the party with your friends or family.

The Mad Hatter’s Skating Fairtrade Tea Party will be from 3:30-5:30pm on Sunday 12th February. Booking is essential, as we need to know how many people we are catering for and there is a safety limit. The Christmas and Halloween parties both sold out, so get your tickets early by texting Kirsty on 07341 300259.

We are having this party as part of Fairtrade fortnight (although a little early) and have been asked to run it by ‘Fairtrade in Penistone’. There will be people from the group at the party to answer any questions you might have about Fairtrade. They will also be showing a short, fun, Fairtrade film while you are eating.

Huge thanks goes to Longley Farm for donating cream, cream cheese and butter…and massive thanks to Pete at Bank View Café (The Spotty Café) for providing sandwiches, cakes and scones at cost price to support Penistone Leisure Centre and Fairtrade in Penistone.

    Hi Stacie,
    The Mad Hatter’s Skating Fairtrade Tea Party is happening this year, 2017. It is on a Sunday as that was a good time for the people involved. We’ve had parties on different days of the week and it doesn’t seem to make much difference to people, we always sell out. I hope you can make it!

      Oh dear – silly me! I thought the poster said it was on Saturday 12th, but it actually says Sunday! Doh! Thanks. We will be there!

        No problem, it’s easily done. Please book with Kirsty though if you want to come – on 07341 300259 – as there will not be tickets on the door.
        Thanks,
        Rachel

    Hi,

    Daft question but is this up to date or was this for an event last year? 12th Feb is a Sunday this year so thought I’d just check. If this was for last year, will you be holding it again this year?

    Thanks
    Stacie
