Join us for an evening full of fun and creativity! Bring your own booze and get your creative juices flowing on canvas – think Merlot and Monet! Hosted by Lemon & Jinja, this event will take place upstairs. All of the paints, paintbrushes and canvases will be provided. We will have a centre piece to draw inspiration from, but these sessions are designed to be free-flowing, allowing you to create and paint whatever takes your fancy. So come with some ideas or resident creative, Jesse, can help you out on the night! Don’t want to drink? Our café will also be open, so teas, hot chocolates and coffees will be available, as well as cold drinks. Our cake counter will also be open to purchase from. What’s included? A night of fun, laughter and creativity! Jesse will host you as you sip and paint and create a beautiful canvas to take home (on the night!). Any additional canvases are available to purchase for £6. This session is designed for all abilities, no painting experience required. We are creating a relaxed, informal and fun environment for all!
Free to attend! Join us to litter pick with us and help clean up Romsey! We have litter pickers and bags, but if you have your own, you are encouraged to bring them. The litter pickers have kindly been donated by Test Valley Borough Council. Please let us know if you are coming, so that we can know rough numbers.
Litter-picking is an easy and fun way to get active, improve your wellbeing, and take care of the environment on your doorstep.
Equipment: We have litter pickers, but if you have your own, we’d love for you to bring them. Please wear heavy duty gloves (think gardening gloves). We will have hand sanitiser back at the shop and there’s a toilet too, for washing and using! Please bring high vis vests if you have, as we may walk along the roads – general health and safety! If you have any bags or bag hoops, too, the more the merrier. Sturdy shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
We do also sell Waterhaul folding litter pickers, litter picking hoops and canvas bags, if you’d like to buy the gear! All made from recycled and upcycled products.
Location will change each time (unless the area needs a pick again!).
We will then collect and count what we have picked, so we can keep track of our progress.
Welcome to our mini series – Sustainable Spotlight – where we highlight our favourite products in the shop and share our eco tips and tricks with you. We are so good at explaining things to you face-to-face, but it’s time to share it wider.
A quick bit on white vinegar: We LOVE white vinegar. It’s so multipurpose – it can be used for cleaning washing machines, fabric softener, window cleaner, eco weed control, rinse aid and more! We like using it with citrus peel (soak the peel in the vinegar) as a household cleaner, too.
The added bonuses? It’s affordable and available on refill! We sell it from a 200L barrel for 20p/100ml. Do your bit for the planet and bring your old containers to refill.
What to walk away with here: white vinegar is an essential for your house! We love it for washing machines and window cleaner especially. Pair it with citric acid, bicarbonate of soda, citrus and you have your home essentials!
Buy white vinegar here, bicarbonate of soda here and citric acid here.

A brief yet (biased) great start to the series. We love sharing our knowledge, and love hearing from you too! What’s your best kept eco secret?
