Cheeky Monkey Tea Party 2012

On a beautiful sunny day in July, young families descend on Sutton's Brooklands Centre for our annual Cheeky Monkey Tea Party. Loads of fun craft activities for the children, including tile painting, seed planting (ours have sprouted now) and decorating cakes:

Clare Rees provided her excellent face painting services.

Ken's Woodshop was there selling beautiful wooden gifts and toys, even making some on the spot, as well as some handmade jewellery. As was Alice Daly with her Phoenix Cards stall.

Refreshments including home-made cakes were delicious and the children had a lovely time playing outside and in.

Cheeky Monkey Tea Party

The Cheeky Monkey Tea Party is a fun morning of craft activities, cakes, stalls and a raffle, that we hold once a year in the summer. This year it will be on Wednesday 25th July, 10am - 12 noon at the Brooklands Centre in Sutton. We've held it there for the last two years, and it's a really nice venue with plenty of parking and some pleasant outside space as well as the hall itself. Entry costs £2.50 per family.

There will be loads of craft activities for the children and a refreshments stall including home-made cakes. 

The stalls this year will include Ken's Woodshop, Nicola Ford who sells Usborne Books, Alice Daly who sells Phoenix Cards and Clare Rees the face painter.

We have been donated some lovely raffle prizes, including a cake by Helenmarie Looker, a 50% off voucher for baby massage classes with Tara Bungard, a family photography session including CD, worth £65, from Natasha Biggs, hand-crafted bath treats, art work for a child's bedroom by Debbie Bellaby and some beautiful hand-made jewellery from The Emerald Magpie. I really recommend taking a look at the websites, we have some amazingly talented people in the area.

And this year, for the first time, there is a national Cheeky Monkey Tea Party photo competition, with mystery prizes.
