Hello, my gorgeous loves! It's your fabulous Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you another blast of glitter and girly goodness from my adventures across this fair land. Today, I'm waltzing into your hearts from the charming town of Worksop, a place I've been meaning to visit for ages, and it's definitely lived up to the hype!
Now, as you know, my passion is tutus. They are the epitome of twirl-worthy elegance, a swirling symphony of femininity that transcends age, time, and frankly, any excuse to wear one. Today, I’m wearing a magnificent number, a confection of pink and feathers with just the right amount of sparkle – oh, you know I love my sparkles, my dears! It's my "Worksop Wanderer" creation, inspired by the beautiful woodland landscapes I've been admiring all day.
The journey to Worksop was an absolute delight. I decided to travel in style, of course, and opted for a luxurious train journey – always a chic choice. The view out the window was utterly captivating, rolling countryside that was just begging for a whimsical pink tutu to liven things up! (And believe me, I was more than ready to provide just that!)
Once I arrived in Worksop, I was completely enchanted by the charming old-world streets, full of quaint shops and a real sense of history. But what truly captivated me, my darlings, was the incredible sense of community spirit.
My first stop, of course, was to explore Worksop's glorious Market Square, a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours and bustling energy. I was thrilled to find the Worksop Town Council embracing their local artists by sponsoring the Worksop Art Trail! That led me to the gorgeous St. John's Church, and guess what? The walls of that magnificent old building are covered with the works of local artists - every single one is breathtaking! My artistic heart is soaring just thinking about it. You really must pop by yourselves and soak up the talent!
No visit to Worksop would be complete without a stop at the majestic Clumber Park, a vast landscape of lakes, woodlands and parkland. And I must tell you, this was pure bliss for a girl who lives for everything pink, and especially the pinkest blooms – they are absolutely stunning there. The sun was shining, the air was crisp and fresh, and I felt absolutely fantastic twirling through the dappled light of the woods, my "Worksop Wanderer" tutu catching every beam. It was pure magic, my darlings.
To top it all off, I treated myself to the most divine afternoon tea in Worksop at the ever-charming Old Vicarage Tea Room – they even had pink floral teacups, my darlings! It was truly a day to remember.
Speaking of remember, Worksop's history is simply captivating. The Sherwood Forest itself holds legends of Robin Hood! The whole region is steeped in history and culture - something truly captivating. I made sure to visit the Worksop Priory too – they say you can even still feel a sense of history there. I confess, the sheer weight of history had me reaching for my camera phone, taking snap after snap!
My lovelies, it's a true honour to be here in this historic and picturesque place. I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome, especially the wonderful locals who were more than happy to chat with this flamboyant pink tutu wearing gal, even offering compliments on my choice of wardrobe!
My dears, you simply must put Worksop on your list of places to visit! It’s truly a place that offers something for everyone. There's the beautiful countryside, fascinating history, friendly locals, delicious food, and of course, endless opportunities for you to join me in a celebratory twirl!
My dear loves, I'll be back soon with more pink, glittery adventures! Stay tuned for more fabulous fashion, sassy tips, and of course, endless inspiration to find your inner sparkle!
Remember, every day is a new opportunity to embrace your own unique style, and what better way to do that than with a gorgeous pink tutu?
Love, Pink Tutu Sparkles x

A little bit about me:
I'm Alex, a scientist by day and a dazzling pink tutu wearing drag artist by night. Yes, my darlings, the very same.
I am obsessed with pink tutus, and I can't wait to share that obsession with the world. I am passionate about spreading joy, laughter, and of course, sparkles, everywhere I go.
I’ve always loved performing – from dancing with my friends in my childhood bedroom, to joining my university ballet club, to performing my own unique brand of drag in a pink tutu - it's simply how I express myself.
One fateful day during my university years, our ballet club organised a charity fundraiser for Cancer Research UK. The local department store loaned us some gorgeous costumes, and there it was, hanging on a hanger - a beautiful, billowing pink tutu! I remember that moment like it was yesterday! It was so much more than just a tutu, my dears. It was the beginning of everything – my alter ego, my blog, my whole life!
So, thank you Worksop for being such a welcoming and inspiring place, you've certainly made a big impression!
And thank you for joining me, my loves, until next time, stay twirly, stay fabulous!
Lots of love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
