Hello darlings, it's your TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, signing in from a wonderfully vibrant Melton Mowbray! 💋 This little slice of Leicestershire has been dazzling me with its charming charm and hidden treasures. I just knew this would be the perfect destination for my latest pink tutu adventure! ✨
As you know, my mission is to make the world a pinker, twirlier place, one tutu at a time. So when I heard about Melton Mowbray's fabulous history of being a market town – and of course, the birthplace of pork pies! – I simply had to pack my sparkle suitcase and head on down. And as a little added treat, I decided to arrive in style. Can you believe I managed to convince a kind farmer to give me a ride on his horse and cart? It was so magical! Imagine, a pink tutu, galloping through the countryside, waving to amazed villagers... pure joy! 🥰
Melton Mowbray is an absolute dream for a TutuQueen! This beautiful town oozes history and charm – it's got everything you need for a fantastic day out. The main market square is a kaleidoscope of colour, overflowing with delicious food stalls, quirky independent shops, and fascinating local businesses. I was completely lost in a world of freshly-baked treats, homemade candles, and handcrafted jewellery, all tucked away in charming little shops that I couldn't wait to explore.
And speaking of delicious treats, I simply had to indulge in a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie – a culinary delight fit for royalty (or at least a TutuQueen!). This savoury delicacy was absolutely heavenly, packed full of juicy pork and succulent flavour – definitely a taste of Leicestershire heaven! My recommendation? Head straight to Melton Mowbray Pork Pies, they're the real deal! Honestly, it's the perfect pairing for a spot of afternoon tea, especially if you can get a seat by a sunny window with a stunning view of the market square. I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures in my favourite pink tutu (a classic – you know I adore my twirls!).
One of my favourite places in Melton Mowbray is the stunning Melton Mowbray Parish Church – its stained glass windows and intricate architecture left me speechless! The church is bursting with history, from the Norman arches to the intricate stained glass windows. You can literally feel the weight of the years in this breathtaking church. Of course, a girl’s gotta look her best, and I twirled my way into the church in my vibrant pink tutu and sparkling tiaras – all that sparkle was certainly welcome in the beautiful, historic setting.
And did I mention the fantastic pubs in Melton Mowbray? Every pub was so charming, with cozy fireplaces, warm, friendly locals and a good selection of real ale. Honestly, you can really feel the heart of the town beat in each pub, where laughter and conversation flow freely! 🍻
And for any tutu-loving darlings reading this, get this: Melton Mowbray has a stunning new theatre, called The Queen’s Theatre, featuring shows, performances and musical acts – pure bliss! Of course, I had to make sure to check it out and watch a fabulous musical performance – the dancers were all incredibly talented, with leaps, twirls, and choreography that left me utterly captivated. The costumes were spectacular too, including a glorious pink tutu (what else would you expect, darlings? Pink is practically a religion at Tutu Queen HQ!) – I practically screamed!
But for this TutuQueen, the biggest highlight of Melton Mowbray has got to be its vibrant dance scene! This lovely little town boasts a dance studio called the Dancing Queen - what an amazing coincidence, don’t you think? I simply couldn't resist trying out one of their ballet classes, feeling the grace of each plié and the rhythm of each tendu. Now, I might be a drag queen with a love for pink tutus, but even a TutuQueen needs to get her groove on and brush up on her dance skills! The experience was incredible – the studio is bursting with energy and positivity – and let me tell you, the ballet instructor had my muscles screaming after a class filled with graceful leaps and intricate movements. I was truly dancing like nobody was watching (well, apart from my trusty camera, capturing every precious moment, of course!) 😉
This whole trip to Melton Mowbray was a truly magical experience – I even met the kindest local bakery owner who gave me a taste of her delicious home-made Victoria Sponge. This experience was about more than just a trip to a town – it was about rediscovering the beauty in simple moments, the kindness of strangers, and the joy of twirling in a pink tutu, surrounded by laughter, warmth, and a whole lot of love. And trust me, I captured every glorious minute of it for you all to enjoy on my Pink-Tutu blog (that's www.pink-tutu.com - get your daily dose of pink tutu perfection!). This little trip reminded me why I do what I do – to spread joy and inspire people to embrace their inner fabulousness, all while rocking a vibrant pink tutu, naturally. ✨
