Broadstairs: Tutu Tuesday, A Rainbow of Sparkle

Oh, hello darlings! It's your girl, Chloe, and let me tell you, I’m back with another glorious, utterly fabulous report on the absolute MUST-DO event of the month, week, and basically, *forever* – Tutu Tuesday in Broadstairs!

If you’re not already in the know, Tutu Tuesday in Broadstairs is like a unicorn-infused rainbow explosion of sheer tulle and sparkles. Picture this: A vibrant seafront, the sun glinting off the waves, and literally everyone, from adorable tots to grandmas in their prime, dressed in the most whimsical, awe-inspiring tutus you’ve ever seen! Now imagine it all to the beat of disco music and topped with a sprinkling of glittery unicorn magic. You’ve got Tutu Tuesday.

Now, before we delve into the fashion extravaganza (because seriously, that's where the magic *really* happens), let’s chat about the atmosphere. There's a palpable sense of joy, a sprinkle of silliness, and an unmistakable energy that vibrates off every giggling, spinning tutu-clad participant.

I've got to tell you, the best thing about this day? Absolutely everyone's happy! And no, I don't mean "I'm-smiling-because-my-teeth-are-white-happy", but genuine, pure, belly-aching-from-laughter happy. It's utterly contagious. You're guaranteed to find yourself with a perma-grin and possibly even spontaneously breaking into a pirouette.

Speaking of which, there were some serious pirouette skills on display this year. It was a literal ballerina ballet bootcamp on the seafront, but with an added dose of whimsical tutu-twirling chaos. From little girls mimicking graceful swans to seasoned seniors executing perfectly balanced relevés, every twirl felt like a glorious explosion of pure joy. You could feel the joy practically vibrate through the air!.

Alright, onto the heart and soul of Tutu Tuesday – the tutus themselves! We had the whole shebang. From classic romantic tutus with cascading layers of pale pink tulle, and fierce black tulle creations that demanded attention. And then there were the **outlandishly wonderful**. We’re talking neon pink and purple tulle, majestic ombre gradients from lavender to azure blue, even tutus adorned with unicorns! My personal fave was this adorable little girl in a rainbow tutu adorned with glittery rainbow sequins and unicorn motifs. And it wouldn’t be a proper tutu Tuesday without those flamboyant flamboyant ones… You know the kind, with feathers, fringes, sequins, and sparkles galore! A true embodiment of pure fabulousness.

And here’s the real takeaway: It wasn't about how perfectly you could execute a fouetté or if your tutu was the most intricate. The absolute best part? Watching a little girl twirling in her homemade cardboard tutu, with the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on her face, while holding onto a sparkly unicorn-shaped balloon.

If you are ever wondering where to get your next dose of pure joy and whimsical fashion, don’t even question it! Make your way to Broadstairs for Tutu Tuesday next year. It’s an event that guarantees laughter, a dose of utter magic and a sprinkle of delightful absurdity - and honestly, who wouldn't want that?
