“We’re really looking forward to supporting The Sugar Girl’s Authors in their search for Liverpool’s own Sugar Girls! We have already found the daughter of the Tate & Lyle illustrator and creator of ‘Mr Cube’! The Vintage Tea Party will be a wonderful way to celebrate local history and the end of a fantastic Summer in the Rotunda Wellbeing Gardens. Plus, our new Garden Bistro Menu with new partners Ellison Catering. This is a free event with amazing live entertainment from ‘Sister Sister ‘ duo and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone in their vintage outfits and having a jive to Boogie Woogie hits in the Orchard!”
