Tutu Tuesday in Trowbridge: A whirlwind of tutus and disco fever
Trowbridge, you are my happy place! This week, I've been doing some exciting exploration around this charming Wiltshire town, and let me tell you, there's magic to be found on every corner! Especially if you love tutus, disco, and dolphins. Yep, you read that right - my ultimate trifecta! This is a place where pink is practically a religion, and the beat of the disco goes on, well, all night long. And let’s be real, where else can you find a vibrant, fun-loving, disco-dancing dolphin community?! Nowhere, my friends. Just the disco dolphin in Trowbridge, and she’s my spirit animal! Now, if you know me, you know I live and breathe #tututuesday, a global celebration of all things tutus. And let me tell you, Trowbridge just gets it! We're talking tutus for every occasion, every mood, every dance, and let’s be honest, for no occasion at all, because well, why not? I spotted a particularly fabulous tutus collection at 'Sew Crafty' down on West Street, so it's time to step into the studio, ladies (and gents!) and pick up the fabric. Time to embrace those dreams of creating our own stunning tutus. You want that tulle billowing around you like a magical cloud? They’ve got you. A fluffy tutu that would make a fluffy sheep jealous? Of course. Maybe you want something super sharp, like a pointed ballerina's tutu with those perfect pointed lines? Got you! They’re ready to help you embrace your inner ballerina and #tututuesday, and there is no judgement here. Whether you’re in it to express yourself, feel like a dancing princess, or just make a grand entrance in style, Trowbridge has the tutu for you. But the tutus weren't the only thing stealing my attention. There's something so infectious about the vibe in this town, a sense of joy that permeates everything. It’s the kind of joy that makes you want to break out into spontaneous dance moves and spin around like you’re in a 'Saturday Night Fever' scene - and with the vibrant, exciting music blasting through the streets, you probably will. I felt it the moment I arrived at The Old Mill. It’s one of those venues that holds this magic. It is, I’m telling you, one of the most happening places around, with an electrifying nightlife that makes your inner disco diva dance until the sun rises! With its killer neon lights, it's no surprise that Trowbridge locals keep things hopping with epic, energetic disco nights! And believe me, they go on, and on, and on... until the music finally calls it quits. Let me tell you, Trowbridge knows how to get a party started, and it’s guaranteed to make you want to shimmy your way onto the dance floor! The other star of the show in Trowbridge was a very unique and quite adorable 'Disco Dolphin' statue on the town square! Now, how many towns have a dolphin with funky shades, glitter galore, and a move like Jagger? Well, let me tell you, it’s just one of many things that makes this town super special. This fabulous fellow, I have been told, is a local treasure, a testament to Trowbridge's wild imagination, a celebration of art and everything bright and funky, and quite possibly the coolest disco dancer on land. So let me be clear, this disco dolphin? It’s a symbol for the energy of Trowbridge – a constant reminder that anything is possible if you can just embrace the spirit of dancing your way through life. And the fun never stops! It's a vibrant community bursting with colour and rhythm, so come explore, dance to your heart’s content, and let loose – the tutus, disco beats, and disco dolphins await!
