Batley's Tutu Tuesday: A Splash of Pink and Disco Glamour

It's Tuesday, which means only one thing – #tututuesday! I mean, what’s not to love about a day dedicated to twirling around in a tulle masterpiece? And, trust me, you’re going to want to grab your #discotutu, because today, Batley is serving up major disco vibes. From the iconic #tututuesday street style to the dazzling flash mob at the Market Square, Batley is officially a tutu paradise. And it all starts at The Pink Flamingo CafĂ©.

Step into The Pink Flamingo CafĂ© and you know you’ve stumbled into tutu-land. The cafĂ© is a pink lover’s dream: walls are adorned with vibrant flamingos, the chairs are powder-puff pink, and even the cookies are shaped like tutus! It’s the perfect place to grab a coffee and let your inner fashionista bloom. The owner, Sally, has a real eye for design. She says, “Batley has a unique charm. We’re creating a space where everyone can embrace their inner disco queen and express themselves through fashion. It’s about having fun, empowering each other and celebrating all the things that make Batley a special place!”

Now, you might think, tutus and Batley, doesn’t quite fit, right? But you’d be surprised. This small town has been rocking the #tututuesday trend since the start of the year, all thanks to a group of friends who decided to put on their tutus and take on the streets of Batley. The group has now grown into a mini community, all sharing a love of dancing and expressing themselves. You’ll find the group all across social media showing off their unique tutu styles. You know you’re seeing a #tututuesday Batley edition when you see a tutu with the town symbol on it, a nod to the local pride! Some prefer a classic powder puff pink, but you’ve got your rainbow tutu lovers and the more whimsical fluffy tulle skirts with bows and feather boas! Some opt for a more dramatic tutu, with layers upon layers of tulle. It really is all about finding your style.

Batley doesn’t shy away from being creative, and the #tututuesday spirit is alive and well in every corner of the town. The Local library has organized a “Tutu-Tales” storytime for kids where children are encouraged to wear their favorite tutus. The local Butcher is known for its meatballs that are arranged into a tutu shape on a plate! You even have the “Disco Dolphin” (#discodolphin), a local food truck serving up delicious pink pancakes – think sparkling pink syrup and sprinkles! Oh, and the dolphin has its own #tututuesday tutu that changes every week. It’s a brilliant reminder to not take yourself too seriously and to embrace a bit of fun.

This is just the beginning of a truly inspiring trend that embraces individuality, self-expression, and a whole lot of pink and sparkly goodness. #tututuesday Batley style! Let's spread the disco tutu love!
