Bohemian open day at beach house
Comments |
A feast of local produce was on offer during a special open day
at The Beacon in Tankerton last Sunday.
To celebrate the beach house being awarded 'unlimited’ licensing
ceremonies by Kent County Council, an open invitation was issued to
anyone hoping to plan their ceremony or event at the house, and
local businesses were invited to showcase their wares.
Chefs from Pumpkin served up canapes; Jane at Graham Greener
brought flowers, What’s Up Cupcakes provided sweet treats and
The Cheese Box offered savoury delights.
Music was provided by bands including celtic performers Camine
and girl group Nirvanarama, and there were art installations around
the grounds.
A touch of
pampering was also on offer, with Japanese facials provided by
Shelley Ganderton and make-up and hair by Frances Prestcott.
Owner Katrina Brown said: “The open day worked brilliantly with
eaty bits and cheese tasting inside, wine tasting on the 'sunrise
deck’, Japanese face lifts in the meadow and a marvellous mermaid
meander signposted throughout ending with real life mermaid Annie
Taylor in her shimmering scales.
"We were all independent operators, and proved an excellent
team, with everyone supporting one another throughout the day. It
felt like family.”

This Thursday's Gazette states that the open day is
to take place on Sunday, July 3, when it in fact took place
last Sunday. We apologise for the error and any confusion
caused.
