In the centre of the main room there was a gorgeous display
of seasonal hampers set in a woodland scene, and this year Lakeland has put
even more effort into producing some really tailored hampers from New You to
Rise and Shine and one especially for the men in our lives. The rest of the
room was dedicated to demos which included cold coffee, healthy eating and the
ever popular Gerard Baker, the pickling and preserving expert who was a huge
hit because of his vast knowledge and enthusiasm.
The spectacular gravity defying cakes certainly caught the
eye of many, and Lakeland customers will be able to produce their own
spectacular show stoppers from the end of October when the supports arrive in
store. The bistro area was hugely popular serving bubbles in bubbles and lots
of tasty treats that will be available from the end of August.
Eyes all turned in the afternoon when Davina McCall arrived
for a photocall following the announcement of her partnership with Lakeland,
she’s always been a fan and is a keen cook with her own book on eliminating
sugar from your diet in 5 weeks. She looked stunning and even more glowing in
the flesh, so she is living proof that
eating well helps you look good, the Lakeland team loved chatting with her and
she had many selfies and team shots taken with everyone.
Despite the glorious sunshine outside it was all Christmas lights
and gifts inside with a huge array of gifts for every member of the family and
some sensational decs to create a truly spectacular Christmas grotto at home
this year.
