Share a sweet treat and enjoy our wildflowers
If you just want an evening to hang together, then pick up something sweet and delicious at Kaspa’s Desserts (artisan ice cream, waffles, sundaes and sharers) then take some time as the sun goes down for a quiet moment or two… Enjoy the colour and scents of our new wildflowers which are set to be a gorgeous summer sanctuary for bugs, insects, bees and butterflies with a host of insect houses to keep them protected.
