Awww, this sounds so fun. I wish I lived closer. ♥️

I would have loved to have come but it's too far. It sounds so amazing. I hope everyone that goes posts lots of photos 

Very excited for this! Got my pop-up shop ticket, got my party ticket and got my raffle ticket! Looking forward to meeting everyone ☺️ 

Woo hoo! Tickets purchased..... Now to save my pennies for the shopping. 

I'd love to go but I'm Belfast based so just wouldn't be affordable to travel at the moment, I hope it goes well, I'm sure everyone will have a great day 😊

How exciting! We can't wait to see you there!

Wish I could come to this! Bit too far for me though. Have fun all you lovely fellow sewists! I’m sure there’ll be lots of photos. Happy birthday to Minerva! 

I'm all booked in but I've never been issued with a ticket.   The order is showing on my account.  Do you know if tickets have been /will be issued please?

Hi Melanie, we aren't sending out physical or e-tickets; your ticket(s) will be attached to the email address that you entered when you placed your order. On the day, you can either show your order confirmation email or just let us know your email address at the door and we will have a record of your ticket purchase. 

Fabulous - thank you for such a quick reply!!

i finally booked an air bnb and coming up on the friday so i have a little weekend break  so feel I am almost there lol! so excited now

Wish I could have gone but it’s too far. Probably a good thing so I can’t spend too much on lovely fabric. 
I hope you all have a fabulous time, get some bargains and take lots of pictures for those of us wanting to see how wonderful you all look. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINERVA!🍾🎂🎉🎁🛍️🌈💛

Still hoping I can find an affordable plane ticket but it all seems rather expensive unfortunately 🙈.. 

I bought the wrong time because I wasn't paying attention! 🙃Can I change the time? If not i'll rebook some more tickets for a different time and give my other ones away! 

Are under 18s allowed to the party? My 12-year-old daughter is very keen to go!

Hi there, if you email sales@minerva.com we can get this sorted for you 😊

I have made a purchase but it did not give me the option to use the gowild code 

Hi there! Yes, under 18s are allowed to come however, will have to be accompanied throughout the event 🙂

Hi Gail. The gowild code was a discount on animal print fabrics. If you've had a problem with this not being applied to your purchase, do get in touch with our sales team at sales@minerva.com

That's a shame, we would have loved to meet you there

I’ve bought ticket for pop up shop and would love to go to the evening event, however I will be by myself and wonder if there will be other solos to meet up with,

Hi Angela, our Birthday Party is a perfect opportunity to meet and chat to fellow sewists - you certainly won't be the only person who is coming solo! 

That’s me buying a ticket then, I’ll sort out a hotel, I’ve sewn for 62 year, my sewing machines are my best friends.

Hi Angela, would love to meet up, I've substituted my husband for my daughter, so the more girls the merrier. 

I’m going on my own too! I’ll admit, it’s a big step for me to walk into a place where I won’t know a single other soul but in the interests of meeting and chatting with like-minded individuals, I’m gonna do my best! X

I’ve now bought my ticket, for the pop up and the evening event, I have booked a room at the Mercure hotel not far from venue, if you wanted to catch up let’s make arrangements 

Hello I’ve bought tickets for pop up and evening event, I’m staying at the Mercure hotel which is t far from the venue, yes let’s make a group of like minded sewers

Hi , would be great to catch up, I’m staying at the Mercure hotel which isn’t far from the venue. 

Hi, it would be great to catch up I’m staying at the mercure hotel which isn’t far from the venue. 

We are staying at Residence Inn by Marriott Piccadilly, supposed to be walking distance to the venue? Our Pop up time is 2.30pm -3.30pm

Hi Angela, it seems your hotel is a few streets behind ours, so if you want to meet us at our hotel as it's slightly closer (seven minutes walking or two minute by taxi) on route to The Halle St Peter Venue. 

Internet socialism does have the habit of creating disappointing anticlimaxes doesn’t it. Nothing is ever as exciting as when you don’t think it through at all, is it.

It reminds me of the 80’s/90’s when people were  ‘being industrious’, building their businesses and feeling empowered (either from the growing success, or the amount of drugs in their system inflating their egos); today they’re mostly on antidepressants, a few million in Coots bank or not, lol.

Not allowed then. Might meet some of the pattern and home sewing business owners and feel like they’re lacklustre or lacking in passion, compared to their online presence.

Hi just bought two tickets now my friend cant go.  Does any solo need a ticket and would like to come with me? Jenny

Hi there, just got my ticket too and will also be flying solo. Would be great to meet up a group of likeminded sewers. I Will also be staying in the area at the Ibis. Can’t wait!!
