In All Her Finery, the accessories boutique on School Lane, Didsbury is now hosting a twice monthly Open Night.

The open night, always with a cake theme, offers a relaxed atmosphere and complimentary refreshments for members of the local community to enjoy. It’s a lovely social mixer and the team at In All Her Finery would love to invite you along.

Details of events are posted on their website – http://www.inallherfinery.co.uk
