We simply REFUSE to let Lockdown stop us from celebrating this season of Love, and so should you!
An extravaganza you say?! YES! That's right. We have been craving a good old sing song, our best party outfits (because we are living in our loungewear and PJs these days!) and an energetic dance off after missing so many fantastic events last year
Celebrate the Love is Love season with incredible music, performances and fabulous entertainers from the Brighton Pride LGBTQ+ stage and support artists who have been hit hard by the pandemic.
As we all know, it's been a difficult time for everyone this past year but especially in the entertainment industry. Many of these wonderful artists (some you may recognise!) have really felt their livelihoods affected by the pandemic. So, for our Sprinkle Of Fairy Dust event we have set up a fund page where you will have the opportunity to “tip” these incredible artists who have worked so hard to bring you a smashing performance! And us here at Bird & Blend will match all donations and every single penny will go straight to them.
It's been a tough year eh?! So grab your housemates, your partner, your children or your doggos and party hard with us all to show your support! At the end of the day, LOVE IS LOVE eh? And everyone deserves to be loved!
Take a look at this fabulous line up full of super talented artists! These wonderful performers are guaranteed to get you in the mood to party.
