Forthcoming evening events - take a look !


Free evening events - suggestions

We have had great success with our various evening events that we’ve held at the shop. 
For anyone who has already attended you’ll know they are very relaxed, lots of ladies come on their own and
we have an informal and fun time over a glass of champers.
Geraldine and Kate are always here to provide bra fitting for anyone who needs a re-fit or advice.
Our evenings are open to everyone and their friends, whether or not they have had surgery.
We usually cater for about 12 ladies on an evening,  so places are limited and its worth letting us know if you
are interested as soon as possible. (If we have a lot of enquiries we can arange to have a specific night repeated so no one misses out !)

Please take a look at the suggestions below and let us know in the comments box which evening would be of interest to you and we can get in touch and organise suitable dates.
