Fentimans Pink Gingerbread House full of sweetness and spice

Fentimans Pink Gingerbread House me

Not leaving breadcrumbs but colour coding my way through the underground adventuring deep into London I went to seek out Fentimans Pink Gingerbread House which has recently popped up at Skylight to promote about their newest soda drink Pink Ginger.

I was invited down along with some other community members of Love Pop Ups London via Fentimans to cosy on up within their edible Gingerbread House and indulge in a bottle or two of their newest drink.

Fentimans

Fentimans has been making natural botanical drinks for over 100 years since 1905. Thomas Fentiman the founder of Fentimans started out initially brewing ginger beer. Since then lots of other beverages have created and developed by them from their ever so popular Rose Lemonade through to their traditional Ginger Beer. All their drinks are brewed for seven days using the time-honoured botanical brewing process resulting in superior tasting drink.

For this festive season they have launched a new drink called Pink Ginger. To promote about their newest drink they have popped up within Skylight with their very own Pink Gingerbread House.

The Spirit Show poster

I went along to the press afternoon of The Spirit Show which was held at the Business Design Centre (1-2 December 2017) in which I took along my blogger friend Kim (see her blog by clicking here). Press events are great as attending those sessions are much quieter which in turn makes it easier and more leisurely to browse around all the stalls, instead of trying to keep on pushing pass everyone to sample a drink or two or to have a discussion with the sellers/owners.

Hi, I’m Joanne. Wanna be spooked? – Halloween Pop Up

Halloween at mine

Every year for Halloween I decorate my house up to give the children in the area a spookily good fright and night.

My Halloween pop up

“Every town has an Elm Street” and annually on Halloween my street, well my house turns into one as “We all go a little mad sometimes”.
