Helloooooooo stuffers 👋🏼 A very happy Thursday to you all 🎉

FATHERS DAY TREAT BOX PRE-ORDERS

Let's be 'avin it. Whether it's Dad, your Daddy or you that deserves a treat to celebrate Father's Day (or just celebrate Sunday, we'll take that), we have THE DADDY of treat boxes for your delight!

For just 15 of your English pounds you can get yourself a slice of the following-

® Caramel Cornflake Brownie (As pictured)- Our own recipe smooshy brownie, topped with a layer of rich, dulce-inspired caramel and finished with a generous layer of caramel coated cornflakes.

® Peanut Butter Bake- The classic that is appreciated by people nationwide (or as far as Cumbria at least). A thick layer of biscuit, peanut butter and little something else blended together into a thick, sweet and slightly salty slab of deliciousness. Topped with a generous helping of milk chocolate.

® Nutella Blondie- Our own recipe soft, chewy blondie layered with ribbons of Nutella Spread and topped with a moorish Nutella buttercream swirl.

® Mars Bar Cookie Pie- Our soft and indulgent cookie dough, wrapped around a rich milk chocolate ganache and chopped Mars bars.

® Milk Chocolate Stuffed Cookies- Two of our finest chunky NYC styled cookies, full of milk chocolate chunks, stuffed with a silky milk chocolate filling and topped with milk chocolate drizzle.

OOF! We'll be getting everything ready for collection from the home kitchen (M24 2LJ) on
FRIDAY 19th JUNE.
As ever we're expecting these boxes to be popular so be sure to drop us a message and get your name down for one post haste!
Once we're at capacity, we'll close the orders and open the cancellation list 😊

And for those of you wanting something a bit sooner, come and see us at the Alkrington Community Craft Fair this Sunday 14th June, 10-3 @ Alkrington Community Centre 🥳

Cheers stuffers, see you all very soooooooooooon 😘

🚂 Return to Middleton! The Train Takeover is Back at Alkrington 🏁🚩
The big red van is getting packed and ready for a wonderful Sunday morning in Middleton! We always receive such a warm welcome here, and we cannot wait to lay out miles of track for another brilliant morning of traditional, unplugged fun.

On Sunday, 28th June, we are transforming Alkrington Community Centre into a massive 500ft railway empire. Your little engineers can look forward to exploring over 100 trains, racing down our famous train rollercoaster, or enjoying a lovely book in our new Reading Corner. It is the perfect, hassle-free Sunday activity where the children can spark their big imaginations while the grown-ups sit back with a fresh hot brew and a chat. Best of all, when the play session finishes, you simply head home for lunch and leave the entire 500-foot pack-away to us! 🧹🙌☕

We have tailored our timetable to make sure there is a slot that fits perfectly into your Sunday routine:

📅 Sunday, 28th June Timetable:

🕒 09:30 – 11:00 | Morning Play Session

The big red van is getting prepped for one of our favourite weekends of the month, as we bring 500 feet of track layout to two fantastic Northwest communities back-to-back! If you are looking to get the kids out of the house for a morning of brilliant, hands-on creativity, our railway empire is the perfect solution.

On Saturday, 27th June, our crew will be setting up the tracks at Chowbent Unitarian Chapel in Atherton, a truly beautiful space for a morning of building. Then, on Sunday, 28th June, the team rolls right along to Alkrington Community Centre in Middleton to do it all over again! Both locations will feature our giant loops, over 100 trains to play with, our famous train rollercoaster for the high-speed thrill-seekers, and our cosy new Reading Corner for a quiet story-time break. Grown-ups can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere and a hot brew, while the little engineers burn off that weekend energy. Best of all, when the final whistle blows, we handle 100% of the cleanup!

We have tailored our timetables at both stations to make sure there is a slot that fits perfectly around your weekend plans, including our dedicated quiet session.
