Hi everyone, you really need to get out to the Old Library in Burngreen. This is one of the best Tabletop sales we have ever had. The tearoom looks amazing and I can tell you the cakes are amazing. I know because I got my knuckles rapped for trying them out. They have a Tombola on the go with smashing prizes. Even if you are busy a quick visit would be great.
