Christmas at Little Perth
Well, it’s been a little while since we’ve updated our blog and for that we are deeply sorry! Truthfully, the combination of a new baby, a load of new things going on at LP, and the Autumn/Winter madness has meant a little less attention for the website. But we’re back on the wagon, and what better time to write than to fill you in on what’s going on at LP this Christmas…
Firstly, our Wreath Workshops begin TONIGHT! We’ve got 9 events over the next 12 nights, across both our Westbourne and Southbourne sites, and a very special one at Rockwater Village in Poole. These are all now sold-out, however do keep an eye on the Workshops page incase any spaces become available as they will be released there first. If you are joining us, wrap up warm, and come ready for a magical evening of mulled wine, festive tunes and loads of creativity! We adore these events and they really do mark the start of Christmas for us. Please do send us those door photos when you’ve proudly hung up your wreaths…
If you missed out on the Workshops don’t despair. We’ll have plenty of Wreaths and Swags to buy in store - either pop down over the next fortnight, or head to the online Shop to pre-order.
Secondly, we’ll be launching our Christmas Bouquets on Tuesday 10th December - a little earlier than usual this year! We’ve got two stunning, contemporary designs this year; ‘A Bowtiful Christmas’ and ‘A Winter Wonderland.’ We’re all about the accessory bows on this year’s design, along with all of our favourite seasonal stems and foliages. This time round we’ll also have a Low-Bowl option available (with the bowl included for free!) if you fancy buying a table centre-piece that doesn’t require you to do anything other than plonk it down. Ideal! Our pre-orders on Christmas bouquets generally sell-out so please do get those orders in soon. We’ll be delivering up until the 21st, and will be open for collection up until Christmas Eve.
Thirdly, we’ve just published a load of Workshop dates for January and February! If you’ve never been to one of our Home Barista Workshops or our Hand-Tied Bouquet ones, then where have you been?! They are the ideal gift for the flower or coffee lover in your life, and will literally take you less than a minute to book. Spaces are already filling up so don’t delay…
Fourthly, have you had a look at our Christmas menu over in Southbourne yet? The Ferrero Rocher Croffles are already proving quite the popular addition! As always, we’ve got a range of Festive Drinks in both stores too - from our Brûlée Cappuccino to our Peppermint Hot Chocolate to our Gingerbread Latte. It isn’t Christmas without a festive hot drink is it?
Finally, we will be closing for our Christmas break on Christmas Day and returning on January 2nd. We always get a lot of messages asking why we close, and although we understand the frustration it’s a simple one for us - Christmas is about family time, true rest, feasting, celebrating and giving thanks. The hospitality and retail industries can get horrendously busy over Christmas, and we want to do things differently - for our kids, our staff, and for our health! So our staff will be paid to relax and see their families, and we’ll be making memories with the kids. Thanks so much for your understanding!
Our final day of trade for 2024 will be on Tuesday 24th December, from 8.30am and closing at 3pm.
Come see us for some coffee and flowers before then, and if we don’t see you - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support throughout this year.
Merry Christmas,
Jon, Ro & The LP Team xx
