Hello my darling tutu-loving darlings! It's Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and guess what?! This fabulously pink queen is off on another adventure, and this time, I'm heading to the lovely town of Walkden! Yep, this is post number 4324 on my daily www.pink-tutu.com journey. I can’t wait to share all the exciting happenings!
I absolutely love exploring new places, and what better way to do it than in a fabulous pink tutu, of course! My trusty travelling companions - a suitcase overflowing with shimmery tulle, my trusty hairspray and my pink sparkly trainers - are all packed and ready to go.
I decided to travel to Walkden by train this time. You see, my dear readers, this Pink Tutu queen loves nothing more than settling into a plush train carriage and watching the countryside fly by, all while composing my latest blog post. Maybe I’ll even strike up a conversation with a friendly passenger and inspire them to embrace the beauty of pink tutus, you never know!
As you all know, my mission in life is to spread the pink tutu gospel! Every day, I put on my sparkly tutu, and aim to spread joy, kindness, and of course, some serious style! My aim? To make everyone from the postman to the baker and everyone in between fall in love with pink tutus, and I'm determined to do just that, one sparkling performance at a time!
Speaking of performances, I've got some fun things lined up for my trip to Walkden. Firstly, I'm thrilled to be performing at the annual town fair, where I'll be showcasing my signature dance routines – expect plenty of twirls, dips and lots of pink-tastic fun! They're having a craft fair at the fair, and if there’s a single pink tutu in the entire place I'll be grabbing it like its a £10 note, even if it is one size fits all, and it doesn’t! And, who knows, maybe I'll inspire a few locals to try their hand at a twirl in their own pink tutus.
After the fair, I’m heading over to the local community theatre to see a stunning production of Swan Lake. I’ve been obsessed with ballet since my university days, you see. I became hooked on tutus in my second year studying science, of all things. There was a university charity event where we sold clothes to raise funds, I volunteered to wear one of their pink tutus and got a huge cheer and an endless stream of photos taken with students, faculty and everyone from the local community centre that day. There is something quite extraordinary about those white feather tutus, the ballet itself has such an air of wonder, it’s hard not to get sucked in!
Oh! And of course, no trip to Walkden would be complete without a shopping trip to their vibrant markets. You just know that I'll be hunting for the perfect new addition to my tutu collection - my wardrobe needs something with that special sparkle. Pink of course!
Before I get all fluttery with anticipation, let’s have some fun facts about this little town – did you know Walkden was actually its own little independent township and did you know Walkden had one of the earliest documented cases of the Lancashire witch trials? My dear readers, who would have thought it?
Of course, no Pink Tutu Sparkles journey would be complete without a touch of whimsy and sparkle! This is my own version of a “travel” blog, and who am I to try to deny the magical side of the world, so when I write about how I got to Walkden, I can only say, my fabulous ride here was nothing short of extraordinary! A group of pink loving children who were heading into town saw me trying to board the train at Worcester Parkway, so of course, I joined them and travelled with the children into Manchester where we all met another family on the platform who joined us as a gaggle of rosy tutu loving folk (children, adults and even a family cat!) to take me on to the most glamorous tutu-filled train trip anyone has ever had in Manchester! The children insisted they teach me a routine to Beyoncé’s "Run the World (Girls)"! You wouldn't believe the excitement.
From what I’ve been able to uncover so far, Walkden sounds absolutely amazing! The warm-hearted people, the vibrant shops and the incredible community spirit – what more could a pink-loving, tutu-wearing, queen ask for? I can’t wait to soak up all the wonderful things Walkden has to offer, and of course, share my experiences with all of you!
Oh! Speaking of you, my darlings, I want to hear from you! What are your favourite pink-tutu moments? Do you have any tips for my trip to Walkden?

XOXO,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
