Origami Poetry Cafe

Dear Friends and customers, due to my family relocation to Liverpool we won't be running beloved Origami Poetry Cafe every Sunday anymore. On the good side we are looking for a new venue in Liverpool so fingers crossed Origami birds are migrating up North.
You can still book your child's birthday party in London on board The Floating Showroom for a pre agreed day.

Creating a bat's bunting for the Halloween all day event at Shane's On Canalside. We always use a scented paper for our decoration NOW A Challenge for anyone who wants to get involved- What scent shall I use for the bats? Did you know the male Bat has a special scent gland on its wing. It roosts and shakes its wings to release scent to mark its territory and attract females :) I was thinking liquorice or peppermint.. I will get you a drink for the winner! Pop in to Here East Sat 29th Oct, canalside River Lee
