Wine Tasting, Manifestation Spell Workshop & Last of the Easter Holidays

Something for everyone.

I hope you’ve been enjoying Don’t Miss Broadstairs so far. I’ve been loving rounding up everything that’s going on across CT10 over the last three weeks.

April has been a bumper month of activity, and this week is no different. For those of you with little ones still on their Easter Holidays, you’ll see plenty of family fun to be had, but there’s also various wellness activities to attend and some wine tasting, gigs and food offers thrown in to the mix.

Remember to follow us on Instagram for more Broadstairs updates, and if you’re enjoying it so far please do let us know and share us with your friends to get the word out further!

Until next week, don’t miss out - Kim xx
