Delivered in partnership with e Pilates Studio New Forest, ‘Pliés & Prosecco on the Pier’ was initially aiming to welcome 20 guests, but demand far exceeded expectations, with over 40 tickets sold in rapid time. Such was the demand, coupled with positive feedback, future sessions are in the pipeline. (Watch the event video: https:// .watch/A2k7GSojo0/?).
