Christmas
LEAF and OH ME OH MY announce programme of festive events for December
2 years ago
LEAF and OH ME OH MY, the intimate and beautiful venues have got the festive season ready to go.
From the newly announced Santa’s Tea Parties and Children’s Christmas Biscuit Decorating to Festive Wreath Making and from 3-courses of Xmas feasting to truly delicious Pudding Clubs, December has never looked – or tasted – so good.
First off, and listed last but certainly not least, there are two New Year’s Eve events at OH ME OH MY. The just announced Disco Afternoon Tea is a very much family friendly affair with delicious food and drink and the perfect place to unwind before the big countdown starts. And speaking of countdowns, OH ME OH MY then hosts a more adults-only gathering, with its New Year’s Eve Darling, It Wouldn’t Be A Party Without You featuring a live band and plentiful celebrations toward and past midnight. Tickets are £20 per person for the evening event from 8.30pm to 2am.
With LEAF’s Breakfast With Santa events sold out, the brand new Santa’s Tea Party afternoons offer a wonderful post school festive experience at Smithdown Road on Monday 5th December and West Kirby on Monday 12th December. Enjoy a mince pie and mulled wine whilst children tuck into a delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows and some decorate-their-own gingerbread. Santa will visit each table in turn and will also provide a little gift for all children. Child tickets are £12 and adults £9.
Then next up, Christmas Wreath Workshop at Bold St on Tues 6th December with Karen McGrath will show guests how to make a unique moss-based wreath using a range of festive foliage and natural decoration. All materials are provided with guidance through each step to create something truly stunning. Tickets £55 per person.
Then staying at Bold St, the Festive Makers’ Market is bringing together over 20 independent designers, creatives and artisans and all of their enchanting goodies. Just in time for last-minute Christmas gifts, inspirations and stocking fillers and with live music from Mike Blue. From 3pm on Wednesday 14th December and free entry.
Over in West Kirby, on Friday 16th December from 6pm LEAF Presents: It’s Christmas! This evening is perfect for a small business or club currently planning their Christmas celebrations and are still looking for the ideal place to celebrate with a special festive soirée. Tickets are £49.95 per person and include: canapes and welcome drink on arrival / 3 course festive dinner / DJ and disco. Please email info@thisisleaf.co.uk to book.
Then also at West Kirby, there’s a double date of afternoon Children’s Christmas Biscuit Decorating. Young ones can get creative using colourful icing and sprinkles. Once they have finished they can enjoy one of their creations accompanied by a delicious hot chocolates. Suitable for ages 3-10 years and on Tuesday 20th December, 3.30-4.30pm and Friday 23rd December, 10am-11am. Tickets £8 + £1 booking fee.
And bookings are still being taken for LEAF’s sumptuous 3-course feasting menu. Available at Bold Street, Smithdown Road and West Kirby, it features classic dishes for everyone to enjoy, from cauliflower soup to baked chorizo & chicken terrine; Galantine of turkey filled with dried fruit & chestnut seasoning to a festive nut roast with a combination of root vegetables; and baked New York Biscoff cheesecake to Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.
And finally, December’s Pudding Clubs will offer all of the usual lashings of sweet-toothed rapture with five delicious dishes carefully paired with complementary loose-leaf teas from LEAF’s extensive collection – it’s five courses of sensorial delectation. And being Christmas, expect some suitably festive invention too on each plate. Wednesday 14th Dec at West Kirby and Thursday 15th Dec at LEAF Bold St.
