💖✨ DOLLY PARTON DISCO! ✨💖

Following the very sad news yesterday, we’ve decided to change the theme of our Friendship Club Disco on Thursday 17th September.

Instead of our planned 1970s theme, we’ll now be celebrating the one and only Dolly Parton! 🌸🎶🤠 Get ready for some fabulous Dolly tunes, country vibes, big hair, sparkles and plenty of dancing! 💃🕺✨

Come dressed as Dolly, wear your favourite country outfit, or just come along and have a fantastic time with your friends. ❤️
