To Our Valued Customers
It is with a heavy heart that I have had to make the decision to close the doors on The Frog and Lily 😞 as of today!
We wish to thank you for your amazing support over the past three and half years. We couldn't have survived this long without you. Unfortunately, it is no longer tenable.
If you wish to come and say goodbye to us (we hope you do) we will be having an open door day on Saturday 7th October from 10am - 3pm.
We will also have plenty of cafe items/chattels for sale on the open door day. If there is something specific you would like, please get in contact with us.
🐱 Our lovely cats, Ivy and Kinkajou will need a new home. If you think you can help please get in touch. UPDATE: They have gone to a lovely rural home.
We will miss these beautifully peaceful gardens and waterfall.
Hope to see you at the open door day.

Did you miss the last event?
Craving an creative escape?
Come and join me on June 18th at the lovely Frog and Lily. We will be creating a echinacea flower and monarch butterfly picture, with watercolours and ink pen, while being treated to a grazing cheese platter of nibbles and a glass of wine.
Our last event was great fun and I think we found some budding artist. Please book in early, as we have limited spaces and sold out last time.
You can book in via the QR code, Booking link below or if you prefer to pay via bank transfer, you're welcome to send me a message.
