❤️🎄 FELIXSTOWE, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU! 🎄❤️
This Christmas, we want to give something back to the amazing community that supports us all year round. ❤️
For those who don't know me, I'm Dan, the landlord at The Grosvenor, and alongside Lucy and our amazing team, we want to do something truly special this holiday season.
🎁 WE'RE GIVING AWAY A CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER FOR FOUR — COMPLETELY ON US! 🎁
✨ What’s Included:
🍽️ A delicious 3-course Christmas dinner for four guests
🍷 A bottle of w**e to enjoy with your meal
🎁 An individual Christmas present for each person
❤️ WE NEED YOUR NOMINATIONS! ❤️
This is about so much more than food and presents—it’s about kindness, community, and making someone feel special at a time of year that can be difficult for many.
Do you know someone in Felixstowe who deserves a little Christmas magic?
* ❤️ A family who might be struggling right now?
* ❤️ Someone who always puts others first?
* ❤️ Someone who might otherwise spend Christmas alone?
* ❤️ A person or family who deserves a special day without worrying about the cost?
We want to hear about them!
💬 A Note From The Heart:
I was brought up with strong morals by the best parents and family I could have wished for. We don't always get everything right — that's life and hospitality — but our hearts are always in the right place. We genuinely care about our community, and we want to show that in a meaningful way.
Christmas isn't about how much money you spend. It's about kindness, love, family, and looking after one another. If we can give four people a beautiful Christmas dinner, a gift to open, and a memory to treasure, then we'll be absolutely delighted. 🎄✨
📩 HOW TO NOMINATE:
* Comment below OR send us a private message telling us who you'd like to nominate and why they deserve this Christmas treat.
* 🗓️ Nomination Deadline: Friday 20th November
Please LIKE & SHARE this post so we can reach as many people in our wonderful community as possible. 🙏❤️
Felixstowe, we love you, we appreciate you, and we'll continue to support our community wherever we can. Let's make some magic happen! ✨🎅
Much love,
Dan, Lucy & all the team at The Grosvenor ❤️🍷🎁

When someone you care about loses a baby, it can be hard to know what to say.

You don’t need perfect words. Acknowledging their loss, listening without trying to make it better, and remembering to check in can mean a great deal.

This Baby Loss Awareness Week, we’re sharing a few gentle ways to support someone, both now and in the months ahead. 🩷💙

Swipe through, and save this for a moment when the words don’t come easily.

🕯️ You’re warmly invited to the Wave of Light service on 15th October at 7pm, at St John the Baptist Church, Felixstowe. Together, we’ll light candles and remember babies who are loved and missed. Whether you’re remembering your baby or supporting someone, you are welcome.

If you’ve been affected by pregnancy or baby loss, support is available at sands.org.uk/support.

Good evening followers ☺️

Please give these 3 a big hand and some moral support as there start their 2 night sleep out.
