National Baking Week – 17-21 October
Baking has taking the UK by storm recently, and so we’re hoping to tap into the craze and join in National Baking Week. We have various activities – sales, competitions, recipes – taking place around college that week which we are really looking forward to. Everyone loves cake – and offices are no exception, so it would be great if you were able to organise a cake sale with your friends/colleagues during that week, with proceeds coming to QAC!
Pamper & Shopping Evening – Thursday 20 October
Following a successful event last year, we are hosting another one this year, this time taking place at the lovely Mint Hotel on Brindley Place. We’ve got lots of companies involved offering a range of treats and demonstrations for guests.
Christmas Craft & Gift Fair – Saturday 3rd December (10.30-3.30) (QAC)
Handmade cards, jewellery, gifts and yummy foods all under one roof! Come along and get some beautiful presents for friends and family. Kids can get creative at the ‘Craft & Make’ table too, and Santa may even pay a visit!
