Mrs Smith's Cottage Newsletter - January 2023

North Kesteven District Council sent this bulletin at 05-01-2023 03:25 PM GMT

We’re open to guests on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Mondays, 12pm-4pm, with a last entry time of 3pm.

Mrs Smith’s door was always open to drop-in visitors, and so are we! Due to the small size of the building we recommend booking your visit in advance to avoid disappointment.

Happy New Year!

We're looking forward to the New Year at Mrs Smith's Cottage, with lots lined up for 2023.

Our Craft Club is continuing, held on the second Saturday of every month, as well as our regular NavenBEEs preschool group on the second Friday.

To keep up to date with exciting events in 2023, follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Drop in again from Friday 6th

We're delighted to be reopening on Friday 6th January after an unexpected closure over the Christmas period.

All hands were on deck to get up and running after a burst water pipe - thankfully we managed to get up and running for one day only to welcome Santa to the cottage on 17th December.

Thank you for your patience during this time, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon!

Thanks to you!
