REVIEW: LETS SKATE SOLIHULL


A few weeks ago I was invited to the launch night of Lets Skate Solihull which has just opened in Mell Square. Solihull have their own little Christmas Market and have a indoor bar selling Christmassy drinks. It's a great night out with friends, you can go for an ice skate and then warm up with a hot chocolate and a hot dog. Its such a great night out! For me Birminghams Christmas Market is just too busy and because we live in solihull we could easily walk in or jump in a taxi meaning we can all have a drink and enjoy ourselves whereas we would have to pay loads for a taxi home or one of us would have to drive into Birmingham.

We had a great night at Lets Skate Solihull, for the launch night they had some great dancers on the ice. Clint and myself had a lovely skate around the ice, I think we could have done with one of the penguin support things but we managed and Clint only fell over once. 

Its such a great night out for the family or with your friends and its affordable with prices starting at £8 for kids and £11 for adults, there are some variations with prices during peak and off peak times but you can check out prices here on the website, they also offer £1 off for bid card holders and theres student discounts aswell. 








EVENT: HOUSE OF FRASER GROTTO LAUNCH


I went along to the Launch of House of Fraser's Grotto the other night. The grotto is run by 'HelpHarryHelpOthers' Charity. It's £5 for kids and adults are free, the child gets a small present. The money goes towards the charity. I think it's a great Grotto and i'm glad its back. It's so affordable and because it's in Birmingham you can make a day of it, a spot of shopping and a visit to the German Market.

At the event we had a little look around the Grotto, at santa's bedroom and workshop and then we got to have a look at Christmas fashion and brands that House of Fraser stock. There was some really beautiful dresses and jumpers with embellishments and sequins. I loved the bags and the coats, theres some amazing brands and products. They also had brands like Nails inc and Benitobrows there, I got to try a new glitter polish from Nails Inc which was gorgeous and I was also treated to some Eyelash Extensions which I will feature in a separate blog post.

It's such a great idea and I've heard lots of people talking about the Grotto and i'm sure its going to be very successful. Heres the Help Harry Help Others Facebook page
